I sent out a newsletter announcement on Friday, and clicking “Send” was harder than I thought. In fact, I walked away and came back after picking the kids up from school, because I needed it to sit for a…
I’m in Austin for QuiltCon the rest of this week, so it seems appropriate that I share the progress I’ve been making on the matching postage stamp quilts I’m putting together for my two younger girls–that is, with those…

Announcing the winners of the A-Line Skirts from Design and Sew an A-Line Skirt! In no particular order, the winners are: For the green Hideaway skirt, #14 Melanie C., who said: For the herringbone yoked skirt, #41 Kelly E,…
OK, y’all! The last day of these skirt giveaways. If you’re just tuning in, I made a bunch of really lovely skirts as samples for my Craftsy class, Design and Sew an A-Line Skirt, but can’t wear them all…
For the past two days, I’ve been giving away skirts I made as samples from my Craftsy class, Design and Sew an A-Line Skirt. And today and tomorrow, I have FOUR more! Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all. These two are…
