I have had this idea swimming around in my brain for a while now, and I finally got a chance to do it! Many of you may have heard of my friend Kitty Wilkin, of Night Quilter. She is the master of piecing teeny, tiny Foundation Paper Pieced blocks.READ MORE
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.
As a thank you, with every order shipped from my shop from now until the last day for holiday shipping- 12/17/19– I will include a canvas Wise Craft Logo Tote bag with your shipment. (This includes the batch of pincushions I just shipped out this morning.)
Designed and printed by yours truly, using an old school heat press machine my friend found on eBay. The same sort of machine I used at my first part time job in high school. Use it as a thank you from me. Carry your projects to grandmother’s house, or just over to the chair in front of the fireplace.
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. Many folks were sad to have missed out on the previous groups, so ceramic artist Kristen Ballou and I worked to make as many as possible available for this next collection. Keep reading if you want to know how to snag one of these beauties.READ MORE
For my collaborative project, A Common Thread, with artist Neicy Frey, we decided to go a little easier on ourselves for our October challenge. I definitely took on too much for our September challenge. We decided on a slightly smaller-sized project this month- 20 x 20″ square.READ MORE
