Since I felt like I’ve not done much to blog about lately, I decided to take some pictures of what I have been doing. First up is a new scarf. And one of those silk cut velvet scarves. I dyed it plum – one of the new “in” colors. And a closeup. Love them daisies.…
Read MoreWhen we were in Colorado last month we stopped and spent some time in the Garden of the Gods. This is not our first trip here, but our first trip together. My first trip was in 1967 with my parents. At that time my sis and her hubby lived near Denver so this was a…

I’m anxious to tell you about it and some of what inspired me while there, but while I was gone the new issue of Quilting Arts…
