This is just a few pics of my recent fabric purchases. I need to get busy and
M A K E something.
I have a few Bee blocks to do for Do.Good.Stitches and I’ve been busy making Kongko Cycling Gear hats. This is a very special-request-funky-customized cycling cap. It was fun to create.
I am in love with all the Granny Square Blocks being created. {Why Yes, I am late to the party. Here, have a bottle of wine and let me in} I blame Pam.

Charlie Scott of Qubee Quilts has a goal of raising $1,000 for Aids Walk Kansas City to help people living with AIDS and HIV and their families. Please go here and vote on the pattern he will use for the donation quilt. You can read in detail about Charlie’s goal and how you can help with this cause by visiting this page
Tremendous advances have been made in research and treatment of AIDS and HIV but so much more is needed. This is dear to my heart. I use to care for AIDS patients at a Hospice…before it was officially named AIDS. It was a horrible, ravishing disease without much hope for successful treatment or survival. Changes have happened both medically and socially. Then there was so much fear and judgement. Today is different. I pray we keep moving forward.

I recently returned from a road trip. Before I left I went a little crazy sewing bags. I made a few with clasp frames and the classy Gathered Clutch from Noodlehead

Some may have noticed my sporadic posting, my vague sniffle-y rants and my damn near invisible-ness. At least I like to believe that you noticed! I am pulling it together, dusting myself off and giving myself a good “snap out of it!” kick in the arse. Again. My dear Friend gave me a kick of [...]

In my time away from blogging I have thought…and thought…and thought…about a lot of things. Some thoughts are introspective and personal, some artistic and design related…all are pertaining to life.
