hi, mom! I’m home!
You know you’re going to miss them when they head off to college. But you won’t miss the laundry. And while a nice bag may not make laundry fun, it might entice them to do it on their own … before they come home. At least that was my hope last fall when I sent […]

The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game inspired this series of nine art quilts. It was the use of a spectrum of moral and ethical perspectives for character development that caught my attention. And then how to represent them visually. There are two basic choices: the character’s view on law versus chaos and good versus evil. Both options also have a middle-ground of neutral. Plot these choices on a grid, and there are nine possibilities for your character’s “alignment.” Thinking about what “lawful” or “chaos” might look like was challenging and great fun.

the sandwich generation
Ah, now I know what it means to be in the “sandwich generation.” Don’t get me wrong, I know I’m lucky to have my family (they are pretty wonderful), but some days it’s been a challenge to avoid getting squished in the panini grill of it all! So in an effort to make the proverbial […]

upcycling for dollars
Every May our local elementary school has a silent auction fundraiser. Every April I think, “hmmmm, what can I do with t-shirts this year?” Last year I made a large patchwork throw pillow for lounging about indoors. This year, after a long winter, I was ready to get outside! So I made a picnic blanket […]

weekly woot!
This week’s woot goes out to Emily Hingston in Auckland, NZ. It’s a small world …. One of the wonderful things about the internet is the way it can bring us together across vast distances. As a child, corresponding with friends in NZ was a long “send and wait” process, today (if you’ve got […]

peter rabbit basket
I have had a length of Peter Rabbit and Friends home dec fabric in my stash for years. As much as I loved it, I never knew what to do with it. Until last week when I was wandering around etsy and saw the answer in another shop. Easter baskets! Thank you Anne Schneider of […]

little pouches, big uses
Stuff. Lately I feel as though I’m being overrun by stuff. Stuff on my desk. Stuff on the bathroom counter. Stuff in my purse. All those little items like pens, buttons, makeup, shopping cards, and more! And then there’s that entourage of electronic gadgets that seem to multiply overnight … and each gadget has 3 […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! … or feis, oireachtas, and Guinness, oh my!
In honor of my daughter’s retirement from competitive irish dance, I stole her dance t-shirt collection and set off to quilting class. Catherine at the Button Box held a t-shirt quilt workshop using Tula Pink’s stack quilt as inspiration. While I wasn’t in love with the colors in Tula’s quilt, it’s a great pattern and […]

weekly woot!
This week’s woot goes out to the Fish Print Lady Stephanie Mason. What? You’ve never heard of fish prints, or gyotaku? Me either, until last week when I met Stephanie. Gyotaku is an old Japanese folk art of making prints from, well, fish. And, apparently it began as a way to record the size […]

me! it’s all about me …
well, sort of … I was recently interviewed by Bev Feldman of Linkouture for her blog series! Bev is a Boston area artist who creates elegant chainmaille jewelry. I’m especially fond of her delicate bracelets; where was she when I needed bridesmaid gifts?! Check out her blog to see her work and meet a wide […]

sewing tip of the day
Just gathered together the fabric for my next “block of the month” class. Our first assignment was to arrange the fabrics in order of value. Value? Hmmmm, this quilt will be made from recycled men’s shirts, so …. Okay, she meant by color value. Which can be tricky if you are easily distracted (as I […]
