Announcing the new mitt design, the Hot Stuff Everyday Mitt! I’ve wanted to do this style of mitt for awhile and decided it was time!

Quilt Block Mania – Flowers
It is time again for another QUILT BLOCK MANIA edition. This month’s theme is FLOWERS. I designed this block a few years back when I was playing with my silhouette cutter. I had some fun playing with contrasting colors in flowers, but didn’t use it in a pattern. When this theme came along, I thought […]
I can see clearly now
Introducing the newest Around the Bobbin pattern, Clearly Organized! Not long ago, although pre-pandemic so it feels like ancient history, but anyway, in 2019 I helped my parents move closer to us. That meant meeting their basement head-on. An entire unfinished basement overflowing with stuff, including all the keepsakes, old stuff no longer used, treasured […]

O Christmas Gnomes
My newest pattern is a wall hanging of a Christmas Tree made up of gnomes. I’ve had this idea for awhile and decided that the world needs something that makes us smile. This makes me smile, and hopefully you too. You can sew it up as a 6-row version or a 5-row version if you […]
Hot Stuff Trivet – Extra Large
I’d like to introduce you to the latest sewable silicone project, the Hot Stuff Extra Large Trivet! Sometimes you just need a bigger trivet, especially if you are serving a large platter, larger casserole dish or 9 x 13 inch pan—or if you are making cookies on hot cookie sheets. These trivets look especially nice […]
