Ruby Ambassador Video Interview with Jenny Haynes of Papper Sax Sten
Happy Monday to you all! Our heating is currently broken and its bit cold in the house. Fingers crossed the repairman coming in an hour can fix it quickly. (Send warm thoughts!)

She manages to create very interesting tunnel and tubular effects using curved piecing and color value.

It is full of happy, space-related prints done with a whimsical twist. And bits of gold! I was inspired to create a quilt pattern for it almost immediately.READ MORE
