I am a homeschool mom with 2 boys! One already in college and one 18 still at home. I love sewing and quilting.

I am all about the fabric love lots of different lines. Usually put something together according to my fabric preferences. I love: Fresh fun fabric, Tula Pink, Sweetwater (moda) Joel Dewberry, Heather Ross, Lizzy House, Monaluna ,Kona solids, Linen, Japanese imports!

Style: New love is log cabin style quilts(carpenters squares, log cabins, cross blocks) and Hexagons!
I also use a lot of circles in my piecing and my quilting.
Can't get enough Union jacks!
I do love applique and stitchery
Japanese style quilt blocks
Linen in quilting!
trip around the world
Liberated quilting.
Badbirds embroidery!!
Another thing I am admiring recently is Charlie Harper!

I also LOVE when someone makes me something that just shows their style! That really means the most to me to have a little bit of you in my sewing room! Make something that speaks to you...don't get too hung up about making something that I will like...I like so many many things! You can usually tell, my mosaics are ALL over the place!

Colors: bring and cheery, there is not much I don't like! Not really into reproduction fabrics, but if it is your thing and you do it well I will love it!

I am about the challenge....I love to try to stretch my piecing skills and give someone what they weren't expecting!

Blogs I creep around Badbirds, Lily's Quilts, VerryKerryBerry, Cluck Cluck sew, Little Miss Shabby, Noodlehead, from the blue chair, and I am a member of the DC Modern Quilt Guild.
I don't actually blog...it would take away from precious sewing time!

I like pincushions, needle books, and small handmade things...believe it or not, I am probably one of the EASIEST partners you will ever have!

I hope this helps you get to know me!
