Play in the Sand Fabric from Tara Reed Designs in stores now!

Rumor has it, it is summer… You wouldn’t know it if you lived in the Northwest lately.  I think we’ve had one sunny day in June and lots of low 60’s and very wet weather.  But I’m not complaining – I have been very busy in my studio following up on new leads and requests [...]

First Course Fabric features Rich colors, healthy Olive Oils, veggies and more…

You may never want to get to the main course once you get your hands on my new fabric collection, First Course, from South Sea Imports! With 14 fabrics and 2 panels (one with 4 placemats and one featuring an apron) – the possibilities are endless.

I decided to make a wall hanging and hot plate [...]

My latest fabric collection from South Sea Imports is a big hit with my family.  My son, brother and sister-in-law all play guitar and are fighting for pieces of my fabric.  I have yet to decide who gets what and may just send them all to the store to buy their own!

Musical notes, instruments and [...]

Thank you to all the wonderful Quilters at Craft Warehouse in Gresham!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking to two groups of quilters at the Craft Warehouse in Gresham, Oregon.  What a fun and talented bunch!  If anyone thinks sewing is easy, you head over there and look at some of their work – wowza!  I was invited to the two “Quilt Parties” to talk about [...]

Taking my "trunk show" to Craft Warehouse in Gresham, Oregon!

Today I dusted off my sewing machine and got busy! I used to sew a lot… as I sat piecing fabric together I remembered buying my Pfaff… it was about 12 years ago when my son was little and I needed to upgrade my machine.  It was a MAJOR investment and I remembered all [...]

It All Began When I Was Jumping Up & Down in the Fabric Department…

Yesterday I had the pleasure of talking to two quilting club groups at the Craft Warehouse in Aloha, Oregon.  This store has an amazing quilting and fabric department whose size is very deceptive – they pack a great variety of fabric in a small space.

The first Tuesday of January I was wandering around the store [...]
