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.

Happy New Year! A great way to start the year is with a workshop to learn a new technique or brush up on an old one. I am offering some workshops in January and I hope you’ll consider joining me for one.

Some new classes coming up and where I’ll be in the next couple of months.
On staving off sadness by adopting a practice of slow stitching.
A post to let you know where I’ll be in the next few months. I hope to see you in some of my classes.
New workshops for January, February and March 2022 are now available.
I can’t believe it’s almost mid-October. And that means that it’s time to schedule some workshops for November. Lots of options to choose from.
I am teaching at the World Quilt Show Online — August 11th to 14th 2021. Join us!
