brubaker’s bison class gift.

Posted on June 7, 2023July 30, 2023by sarah

Posted on May 2, 2023May 7, 2023by sarah

february and all of it’s non essential happenings.

Posted on March 1, 2023April 16, 2023by sarah

old dog. new tricks. or whatever.

Posted on February 18, 2023April 14, 2023by sarah

recent paper piecing adventures.

Posted on April 10, 2022April 10, 2022by sarah

after making several big quilts in a row (halloween economy block, scrappy christmas tree, gnomes, amh flying geese, and stay gold bear paw), i needed a little break. it was time to work on something smaller, more intricate, cheaper, etc, so i started the search for a new paper piecing pattern. lo and behold, i […]
