I had a couple of friends that wanted to learn to make the Professional Tote. We set a date to meet to make the totes. We prepared for our meeting by cutting out our fabrics and fusing the interfacing before our get together.

Yet Another Tote
Another Tote
I have made yet another Professional Tote. This tote was made for a good friend. I used one of my hand dyed fabrics for the main body and I used a commercial black and white cat fabric that I dyed to coordinate for the accent fabric. I left the center pocket out of this bag […]
Doggie quilt
Our Bernina group got together to make a quilt for a fire victim. One group member found the doggie paper pieced pattern. She also put together kits for everyone with all of the fabric pieces rough cut to the correct size. This was a fun day of conversation and sewing. I think all the […]
More Charity Quilts
One of the local hospitals is in need of preemie quilts. They are looking for flannel quilts 3-4 feet in size with no batting. Our Bernina club decided to get together one evening last month and see how many quilts we could put together.

Meeting Robbi Joy Eklow

Office triptych
I was commissioned by Bill to create a triptych for his office. Actually it started out as a single panel, but as the discussion progressed it turned into a triptych with a single color connecting the panels visually.
Productive Week
Last week was a productive week for projects. On Sunday we had an Easter dinner for some of our friends. We needed to have room to seat 11 people. Our dining room table seats 4. This proved to be a small problem. A six foot banquet table and 3 sheets of plywood, joined together […]

Well, It has taken almost a year, but the BOM that I finished the blocks on last March is finally completed. I have set a goal for this March to finish 4 projects. I have quite a few unfinished projects in my closet that are all more than a year old and that is just […]
First Sale of Fabric
This is just a sampling of the dye run that I did this week. I was asked to create several fabrics for a fall themed project. The person wanted a collection of gold and brown fabrics. I think fall colors include golds and browns, but also burgundies, oranges and purples. I was very happy with […]
