Another quiet week in the studio – but a satisfying one. I’ve been spending my time working on samples using the new fabrics and panels that will be coming to the website soon. It feels good to finally see them come together. I’m making a series of 12″ x 12″ pieces – there will be…
It’s been one of those weeks — full of teaching, conversations, shared discoveries, and that quiet buzz that happens when ideas land and take root. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been immersed in classes, and something rather lovely happened along the way: from two of those sessions, students asked if I would teach them…
Happy Thanksgiving weekend! I hope everyone finds a little time to gather with family and friends. In our house, the smell of turkey will fill the air. We’re a small group this year, but I’m so thankful to spend the day with my kids and grandchild. We’ll eat, play games, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon…
Lately, it feels like all I’ve done is stitch and watch TV reruns. No big projects completed, no major breakthroughs—just the quiet rhythm of needle and thread, moving through fabric while old shows play in the background. And you know what? It’s OK.

As I write this, I’m watching a black squirrel running back and forth on the fence. It seems to be having a grand time. Up the bare tree it goes, only to come down and jump on the fence and start all over again. It looks like a very healthy squirrel, bushy tail and shiny…
Another week has gone by. February is a thing of the past and we are at the start of another month. It’s been snowing in Calgary, and quite cold, which is a good excuse to stay inside and make stuff. I travelled to Edmonton on Friday to teach my “New York Beauties Blocks Made Easy”…
I am very excited to once again be teaching virtually at Quiltfest Virtual Schoolhouse no. 7. The link to register is www.quiltfest.com. I am teaching two classes. The first one is “Sophisticated Monoprinting with Masks and Stencils” – on Thursday, January 25th. It’s a 6 hour class where we will combine the use of the…
I am so so excited! I’ve been playing with this technique for a while and I’m thrilled with the results. Plus … the possibilities are endless! So, if you are tired of creating the same old prints with your gelli plate and want to learn a new technique that will take your printing game to…

New workshops for January, February and March 2022 are now available.
