I'm really going to do this now!

Why do I find blogging so difficult? 
...Probably because I would rather be sewing!  In a short 3 years, I have made over 50 quilts, a dozen table toppers, several aprons, and nearly 40 pieces of art ranging from landscapes to postcards.  So here I am, attempting to brand myself to the world (or at least my friends and family).  I design everything I make and always have, the only exception being the aprons.

I have my established style now.  My quilts are generally earth tones, with pretty white on white floral prints. I love to work with white, chocolate brown, cranberry, wheat, and avacado (hungry yet?).  Tiny flowers are in the fabric of everything I make.  My backings are always a coordinated flannelette for warmth & weight.  I try to make every part of the quilt pretty - even the binding.   I love to add piecing or scallop the bindings. I never sash blocks. I like my quilts to be one large design.  I take pride in my stitches, and in the little details on fabric that I find (and hoard). 
 
The quilts are all made with pre-washed cottons. The battings range from cotton to bamboo, to 80/20 cotton/polyester blends, all of which tend to be low loft for machine quilting. In some cases I use embellishments such as buttons, or colorfast permanent paintsticks.

If you are not a quilter and don't have a clue what I'm talking about, then come on in to my blog and look and enjoy. Soak it all up. It's worth it. I have quilts and art for sale, and am available for commissioned work as well. ...Because everyone loves a good quilt! 

Don't forget to check my art pages here as well.  I love fibre arts!!
