Love Birds

March 24, 2010

Thank you to those who left such kind comments about my collage recreated from Immy’s artwork which will eventually hang in her room.

Sewing in straight lines

July 12, 2009

I cannot really call myself a seamstress. I know how to use a sewing machine to sew straight lines and to zig zag edges but little else. I have never made a button hole or sewn in a zipper. I greatly admire quilting but would not have the faintest idea where to start. So I [...]
