Are You Still There? from From the Strawberry Patch...

I will have product for sale in my booth......so I have to get that product ready to go! Please stop on by my booth so we can hug, and chat and you can enjoy the show.

We had a whirlwind trip to Arizona. We left the cabin last ...

I had just the perfect combinations to work with! Does anyone else work out colors/fabrics this way? I do love the end game . . .

Of course it still needs to be blanket stitched down, but ...

Building Relationships from Nestlings By Robin

In 2017 I was very excited to have a design chosen

by Connecting Threads for their catalog.

I had an idea of doing a series of blocks that used the same

components and graduate them in difficulty.

It turned out so well that we decided to do it in 2 fabric lines

in 2 different layouts.
