hello... it's me. {and pattern news!}

Hello, it's me.  I've been wondering if after all this time you'd like to... hear from me.  ;o)


...Adele anyone? :)  So, after taking an eight-month hiatus from the blog, I'm baa-aack!  I have lots of news to share (if you follow me over on Instagram you know that my silence here just means all the more whirring on my machine over there!)  I've finished a host of quilts, started a bunch more, had two quilts published in Love Patchwork & Quilting (Kasbah Chic and Dip Dye Dreamcatcher), got a brand spanking new logo courtesy of Megan Fiechter...


AND (with Megan's help) revamped the designs for my new and improved line of foundation paper piecing patterns.  (Wahoo!)

Right now, I have *three* designs available in print and PDF:


No. 1 Painted Dreamcatcher


No. 3 Folksy Fish


No. 4 Ode to the Trees


As you can tell from the sequencing, if I weren't so overly ambitious I would just have three patterns Nos. 1 through 3, but instead I got ahead of myself and let one (No. 2 Painted Leaf) fall by the wayside.

For those of you who are familiar with all my designs, both the Painted Leaf and Shine Bright Birthstone patterns will be listed in the new shop once they've gotten a little refresh.  I'm hoping that will be by Spring market (mid-May).  In the meantime, to celebrate the launch of non-consecutives Nos. 1, 3, and 4, I'm offering 30% off all patterns (print and digital) now through Sunday (April 10, 2016).  Just enter the code HELLO at checkout in the new shop.

And since I have left a little bit of a gap in my pattern numbering, what pattern (chronology aside) would *you* want to see as next-in-line No. 2?  I'd love to know!

Thanks for the warm welcome, friends. It's good be back.

  3. I don't have suggestions for number 2, but I'm looking forward to trying out your Bright Birthstone patterns. I had them on my Craftsy Wishlist forever, but never pulled the trigger. When I went to buy one last week, it was gone :(. So glad it's coming back.

  4. OMG I must have the fish! And the trees are super cool, too! I'm so excited. It's great to see a new post from you. I might be the only person not on Instagram, but I'm just afraid it will cut into my precious sewing time. :D

  9. IRELAND skipper Peter O’Mahony says his team will have to top their unbeaten Six Nations run if they’re to level the Test series against Australia. After their 18-9 opening Test disappointment, Ireland are looking to rebound in game two tonight in Melbourne (8pm AEST) to keep the series alive for a decider the following weekend in Sydney. Ireland haven’t beaten the Wallabies for 38 years in Australia but, having made Ireland v Wallabies rugby eight changes to start their strongest available team, this represents their best chance. O’Mahony, handed the captaincy reins in the absence of injured regular skipper Rory Best, said his team needed to play better than they had in more than a year to break that long-standing record.

  10. Over the next couple of years Dillian Whyte appeared in many undercard fights including Luke Campbell’s clash against Tommy Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin Coyle for the WBC Lightweight title. He maintained his undefeated streak against heavy hitters like Marcelo Luiz Nascimento, Beka Lobjanidze and Irineu Beato Costa Junior of Brazil.
