I recently completed two sets of commission pillows, one for a 13 year old and the other for her sister. They’re getting their bedrooms completely redone- new colors, furniture, all designed by my talented friends CJ and Barbara, of CJ Hurley Arts, out of Portland, OR. These sisters have completely different tastes, which made this project fun to do.READ MORE

There’s really nothing about quilting that I don’t love and Malka is sure to teach us some new tricks.READ MORE
