Thoughts on Shapes
I really can’t figure out how my mind works. Sometimes I like the way it works, because it sends me off in a new creative direction. I was making the Northwind block for the Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild A-B-C … Continue reading
Inspiration Monday

Inspiration Sunday
Yes, more from my sad shoe shopping experience. At least I found something for you. I think that the flower could easily be reproduced in fabric – ‘easily’ meaning not quick, but the picture makes it look relatively painless and … Continue reading
