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.


SEPTEMBER, 2010

September is back to school!

You are never too “young” to learn new tricks!
I am off to England and Wales for 3 weeks to share new techniques
from “America’s Quilted Garden”.
This is the working title of my latest book (to be released by AQS 2011)
I am excited about using Farbico Markers to “draw appliqué” and color in
with fond memories of childhood coloring days. This technique is so easy and great results!
I am also enjoying “raw edge” appliqué with ultra-suede. Just cut and sew!

Hope you try something new this month.

Enjoy!
