Radio silence…

I’m working on stuff for Robert Kaufman that I can’t post about now, but I took pics of these cool hexie selvages for my friend Jules, and thought y’all might wanna seethem….

Beach School Sewing, finale.

a set of pencil bags for all the kids in one family (1 boy, 2 girls, all coordinating so they can’t fight over them!) beachy pot-holders vintage-y potholders and then just a little playing around… I was thinking of making a little bag for my new phone, but it might need to be turned into […]

Beach School make-up bags

  Ok, here’s more stuff for the Beach School auction: 3 little makeup bags (measurements about 10″ wide by 6″ high), made with Just Dandy fabric donated by Robert Kaufman… I love this fabric line SO much! I tried to choose bright crazy prints for the lining; as Jules reminded me: “Something to hide eye […]

A sweet birthday present…

We’ve got some little girl birthdays coming up, so I decided to use some of my Anne Kelle lollipop and ice cream cone scraps (I think… It’s all a blur from market) with some random other scraps to work on this zippered bag idea again… Last time the zipper was too high, this time it’s […]

Beach School baby blanket

Fall colors

My grapes are so beautiful right now. I loooove these red red leaves. They totally inspired my color choice on my new quilt block, Crossette: Of course, living in SoCal, our fall weather is still tank-top friendly, and I was able to play, barefoot, on my “design wall” (my front lawn).

I’m so excited!

I did some of the work for Robert Kaufman in trade for fabric, and today when I got home I had a HUGE box on my porch. All the cool colors are already in the washing machine so I can start making D pants tomorrow, but here’s the warm stuff. Twill, corduroy, velveteen, poplin, linen, […]
