Happy Valentine's Day!
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and I have a couple of cute patterns for you that I put together for OLFA. There's a cute scrappy mug rug and a fun heart garland. Both projects are free thru OLFA . There's still time to finish these projects in time for Valentine's Day!

Also, stayed tuned on Monday for the next Mondays with Marcus series III! We are all diving into color!

I love warming the house up with the smells of fresh baked goods! I've been craving Tri-level Brownies. My absolute favorite brownie recipe! I've been making these since 1983 when I first was given a Better Homes and Gardens Cookie book by my grandparents. There are so many wonderful recipes in this book, and I have been missing baking lately. I've been ... read more

I've released some new Cross Stitch Border designs for Spring.
Designed to repeat for towel borders, these patterns can easily be stitched as a single motif for pretty little ornaments!

I have been cleaning my sewing space/studio the last couple of days... my least favorite thing to do in my sewing room. I'm much better at messing it up.
