Crossing a big goal off my to do list for 2020 right here at the start-
Today I’ve launched a brand new weekly video series on my Youtube channel. Q(uilting) and Answer is short, weekly videos that answer quilting questions I get asked. You’ve asked at my lectures and workshops, and I’ve been keeping a running list.
New workshop just added! Join me this March at Monster Art Clothing and Gifts here in Seattle, where I will be teaching my woven brooch project kits. Located in the Ballard Neighborhood, Monster just expanded into a new space, complete with a larger workshop area that can hold more students! READ MORE
The Wise Craft Handmade shop is officially on hiatus for the holiday season. As always, any PDF pattern orders and other files will still go through as always. Any physical orders placed between now and the 29th will ship on the 30th. As always, Thank you all so very much for making 2019 a truly joyous year of sewing and quilting with me. I appreciate you all! And Happy Holidays!

Thank you to everyone who snatched up a pincushion from my shop on Monday. There are just a few cuties left! Someone who purchased one called them the perfect gift for the “has everything” friend and I couldn’t agree more. I am so appreciative of your support of this small business of mine.
I am very honored to have been asked to be among the team of talented quilters and artists who make up the Designer of the Month Series, put on each year by Aurifil Thread and Pat Sloan. What is this you ask?READ MORE
Happy Monday to everyone! Today I’m excited to introduce the newest Ruby Ruler™ Ambassador, Jenny Haynes of Papper Sax Sten! Ruby Ambassadors are designers I admire, from all over the world, and help me spread the word about my Ruby Ruler™, Ruby Minder™ quilting and embroidery tools. They demonstrate how they use them in their own work and tell us a little about their design process.
I have long admired Jenny’s beautiful work, discovering her when the Modern Quilt Guild awarded her quilts at Quiltcon 2019. Since then, I’ve watched Jenny create and teach curved piecing like the expert she is, and am so happy to have her share a bit about her process and using the Ruby Ruler™ in this interview, enjoy!

I have been diligently working on a brand new collection of Found and Foraged Pincushions that will be hitting my shop in a couple of weeks.

Keep reading if you want to know how to snag one of these beauties.READ MORE
