I've been working up to this English Paper Piecing (EPP) project since I started in January 2022 on Alice Nova. The huge pieces in that Tula Pink pattern really got me up and running … Continue reading La Mia Passacaglia
Since I moved back here to Southern Vermont, I have been enjoying a local walking and hiking spot called the Snow Making Pond. It is the reservoir of water which is piped up to Stratton Mountain to make snow up there in the winter as needed for skiing. It is a gorgeous spot to have … Continue reading Snow Making Pond – draft
For the August 2023 Bondville Fair, I will be organizing a commemorative quilt to be raffled for the fair. I have drafted three versions which are below. Sorry for the quality, I just needed to make a start and this was the quickest way. As it develops, I'll post more stuff here.

A play on the childhood joke, "What is black and white and read all over? A newspaper!" I love the newsprint and manuscript fabric I chose for the background, and I think quilting the whole thing in red thread will complete the pun. This was created during QVQ workshop with Jean Impey in January 2023. … Continue reading And Read All Over, 26″ x 59″, Vermont 2023
