If you like flowers and would like to do some relaxing hand sewing, stay right here!
I can offer you beautiful appliqué quilts and techniques for hand needle turn appliqué,
as well as for making beautiful flowers from French and silk ribbons.

Flowers have always brightened my day, in any form from fabric to garden blossoms. I enjoy growing them in a garden to seeing them grow in fabric on a quilt. I like to go one step further and “gild the lily” by enhancing my floral appliqué quilts with embellished flowers made from beautiful ribbons. These ribbon flowers are a delight to make, fun to use and your hands are not soiled with dirt!

I hope you’ll visit further, as I’d like to share my love of flowers and floral appliqué with you.

Thank you and may flowers always brighten your day!

These are tidbits that I would like to share with you each month.
They may be a quote, a story, a recipe, a poem, a bit of news, just for you, as well as my schedule.
Please let me now if you enjoy these, and I’ll continue with them.

JULY, 2009

June was supposed to be busting out all over!
 But actually here in the Northeast is has been the rainiest June on record!
 I forgot what the sun is like. Hope things are better where you are.
Here’s hoping July is a month to celebrate sunshine!
The rain has kept me indoor working on the text for my new book.
I got a lot done, so I guess every cloud does have a silver lining.
Here’s to good days ahead in all you do.
