I realized it would be considerate of me to put this message here for anyone who happens to find me.
Thanks to the pandemic and the resulting closure of quilt shows for a couple of years, I was forced to shut down the business. As a result, I also closed the website. So this is the only place you can now find me - unless you own patterns and thus, have my email address.
If you are interested in patterns, they are still available and are half-price. Just send a message here with your email and I will get back to you.

And so I must here take the final step in the closing of a chapter. And that is to publicly announce that my website has been shut down. If you already have a pattern of mine, you have my contact info = my email. Trust me, I still have plenty of inventory. I was not exactly prepared for a sudden ending. I don’t think the word pandemic was even in my vocabulary.
Since this page is still active, I suspect you can pm me as well.
Thank you. It was a great ride and I appreciate everyone who even visited the booth and acknowledged my work. And anyone who has ordered online.
Don’t yet know what’s next. We shall see. Gotta do a little grieving first. 😔😉

And it is finally official - I have retired from doing shows. Thus - I have reduced the prices on all patterns by about 50%. Not sure how long I will keep the website going. Have inventory for now!!

I guess the nightmare is officially over! There is finally a class scheduled at the local quilt store High Sierra Quilters. yes!! It will be on July 24th, 10-4. Give them a call to grab your seat! ^_^

It is that time again and the paper whites are cheering me on each morning as I walk. So decided to again put that pattern on sale, as well as the 4-block one it is part of.
Here are pictures of the pattern and the current real thing. 😉
Hmmm. Can’t seem to now get to the pattern picture. 🤬

Ok, ladies and gents - if you are like me and have been reading about how folks with money have been stepping forward to help those who will not be able to earn their wages dues to the shutdown of events - I have a suggestion for a way that you could also make a contribution.
As you may know, many quilt shows have been cancelled and while you may be sad, you are not really financially impacted. Ok, at least not negatively. 😜 SO - here's my suggestion:

Get in touch with your local guild and get the list of vendors who were scheduled to be at the show. Make sure the list includes contact info and websites for said vendors!! Then place an order with at least one of them. Even if it's just one item, it will make a difference! For, like all those 'vendors' at the arenas etc, we will have to find a way to 'make ends meet' with no income. I'm pretty sure I can speak for all of us when I say - THANK YOU!!! It would be very appreciated. ❣️😍
