Summer Makes: City Gym Shorts.

Spring Quilt Market 2014.
Spring Quilt Market in Pittsburgh was a little over a month ago now (kinda hard to believe!)...which I guess means that it's time to share some photos from it. Better late than never, ...
Savor Each Stitch workshop at Gather Here.
Yesterday was my class at Gather Here in Cambridge. It was great and so much fun. We worked on Facing East from my new book. They have this wonderful annex above the shop with tons of light ...

Happy Labor Day.
I'm not taking much time off today, but I did start the day off by finishing up this lil guy for fun. And I'm very lucky that I can usually find "work" to do that is sewing related. Today I will try ...

It was a no-brainer when the folks at Spoonflower asked if I wanted to make a social tote out of their fabrics. Well, almost a no-brainer. My one fear was getting totally lost in all the ...
