Back!

It has beeen way too long since I last posted. I guess I have been extremely busy since August!

Mo's Hearts We have twelve new colors of Mo's Heart pins. If you are interested in purchasing a Mo's Heart pin to help support the Loeys Dietz Syndrome Foundation, please go to www.loeysdietz.org to order one. The new colors are featured on the site. I have several of the pins here at my house so if you want to order direct from me send me an email!

School is back in session so the kids are back in sports! Bleacher time has afforded me the opportunity to make new brooches for the Morning Glory Gallery. I am using felted wool "buttons" as centers for my brooches..way cool..I'll post pictures soon.

Houston was amazing this year. Numbers were down a bit due to the economy and weather in that part of the world but our new quilts for BBD Creations were a hit. We teamed up with Starr Fabric Design (makers of beautiful hand dyed cottons!) for the new "Lizard" wallhanging A three and a half foot long green anole lizard. We also feature the image in a bookmark. see www.bbdcreations.com to order our pattern. If you enjoy our sample you can contact www.StarrDesign.com to order the fabric from our sample. We also teamed up with Mary Flanagan Woolens again for our new wool table runner: "Honeycomb". This pattern comes from the new index/recipe card line.

After Houston I settled back into reality and the full time job as an Audiologist. We have a new balance testing program in the works. Hoping by January we will be up and running. With much of the day spent working and the nights in the bleachers at the high school there is not much time for quilting.

I still find time to hide and play in the studio. Recent projects include Quilts of Valor quilting, a new heritage quilt for little Hazel Sankovitz, my niece, for her first birthday, a collaborative piece with artist Bonnie Bower-Dennis is in the works and proving to challenge my creative side and I continue to pack a "travel Kit" of beading to grab a few minutes of creativity between quarters at the high school JV Basketball games!

As Christmas approaches I look forward to slowing down as the weather becomes more limiting to travel. I hope to post pictures soon...stay tuned.
