Thought I'd do a "little" organizing. Of course it turned into a "big" project. Before... some more, Before... ...and After ...and more After. A picture of me and Dad when I was in High School, and an "old school" sewing machine like Mom used. I think of them often when I'm in my Fortress of Quilt-itude. Miss you both!

I can feel the energy of spring time coming into existence as the days get longer and the temperature rises. I love to prepare my home for the renewed energy that comes with the Spring Equinox.

Your article tells me you must have a lot of background in this topic. Can you direct me to other articles about this? I will recommend this article to my friends as well. Thanks

Ensure that you de-clutter correct out of the gate. This may obvious the house and enable it to be much easier in your case to really see what needssweeping and dusting. Alternatively, to be taken on the dry cleaners. Use Post-its to label “keep,” “store,“trash” and ” piles.

AuthorI have lived most of my life in northern California and the Willamette Valley of Oregon. My grandmother first taught me to sew when I was eight years old, and by the time I was a teenager I had completed my first quilt. The first quilting classes I taught were at Grandma's Attic in Dallas, OR and Greenbaum's Quilted Forest in Salem, OR. It was during this time that I started experimenting with crayons and developed my Melt-n-Blend technique for using crayons on fabric. Over time I perfected the technique and created some fun and colorful patterns which I sold at our local quilting stores. The success of the classes and patterns eventually lead to my first book "Creative Quilts from your Crayon Box". My husband and I have two sons, one daughter, and four grandchildren. Four of them are quilters--five if you count my husband, Rocky. He's been known to help me with quilting from time to time and has a very nice quilting stitch. My dream is to travel with my husband. I would teach and quilt and he would golf and, well, golf. Archives
