Sewing, Education, & Adventure

Life is an adventure, for sure, and I add in a bit of teaching, a lot of making and a growing community to make it the best I can. Let me share it with you, too.

Oh, Portland, I do love you. I paid a visit to @pdxsewlarium last week to pick out fabrics for the Fancy Forest Quilt (@elizabethagh pattern). I’m doing the small one for the workshop and really looking forward to seeing how these two colorants play together in it. This week, we’re cutting fabric. 😍 I always loved seeing these on trips from LA to Vegas (swipe to see from the ground). Today I got lucky and looked out at the perfect time to see them from the sky. #ivanpahsolarproject It’s been three days of teaching and I have just been so busy I’ve forgotten to post anything! Thank you so much to everyone who came to one of my classes and spent some time with me. I appreciate every one of you. 😘 @quiltfestival Checking in from the “war-ravaged” streets of the “dark and horrible “ Portland, Oregon. #dontbelievethehype There are the aspects of small business that are hard and the lack of control over some things is probably the hardest. Right now, I’m at the whim of @ups in order to ship @crinkledreams orders. 😩🤬
