Almost all of the quilts I made for RK…
OK, prep yourself for a lengthy post… I’m gonna show you SOME of what I’ve been up to for the past 2 months: way back in september I pieced this first one for Robert Kaufman…. The yellow sashing here is Kona Dimensions, it’s a silk cotton blend jacquard, and it’s SO AMAZING. Soft like voile but […]
I’m almost back.
All my Robert Kaufman projects are done, as of this morning at 3am. Now I need to turn this 2″ high stack of fabric leftovers into a million (maybe 50? I lost count while cutting) crayon rolls to give as favors for The Bean’s birthday party favors. Back soon.

a little school jumper…
So, obviously yesterday was 9/11, and I totally couldn’t handle it. I hugged D so hard at one point he complained (he normally loves hugs)… It’s a crazy day for me, because we could see the smoke (and we were covered in ash by evening) from across the bay (we, my best friends and I, […]
name hunting….
Sorry for the extended absence, we went to SF last weekend, and I still haven’t figured out how to email pics in… but I have lots! Starting with these: The night before we left, I whipped this one up, and it looks SO cute on her! It’s the same idea as this shirt, which […]
current projects…
last night and tonight: A birthday dress (with navy blue leggings), for a little girl… I cut into some REALLY pretty yellow (and blue and red) fabric from Sew Modern, and made the Bean a little pleated jumper… She’s about to be a Yellow Bird! I’m super proud of the way I lined up the […]
