Hello, World!

I’m so excited you found me.

This site and blog share my adventures in color, fabric, thread, and texture over 25 years. I’ve dabbled in hand piecing and quilting, but my love lies in machine work. My constant quilting companion is Phineas Pfaff, my Quilt Expressions 4.0 (great machine–5 stars!). He and I have spent hundreds and hundreds of hours creating quilts, wall hangings, market bags, and more. Currently, we have been making rope baskets and trivets. I guess you really can teach an old Pfaff new tricks!

My next big adventure lies in longarm quilting. Follow me as I go from occasional renter to owner of my very own longarm machine! I’ll be sharing my ups and downs, triumphs, and tragedies as they unfold.
