Sentimental Stitches

While it still doesn’t seem like spring around here and we have a chance of lake effect snow today I’m glad it’s officially here. I think if I have a break at work today I’ll go try on a the brightly colored, comfy sundress I saw at the shop across the street.
I can’t believe we’re [...]

For those of you just joining in the fun of collecting the March Motifs here’s a review of how to get your patterns.
Each day during the month, in that day’s message, is a little framed drawing with text under it like the one you see below. If you click on the picture you’ll be taken [...]

We have a combination of snow, sleet, freezing rain and wet rain here today. I thought with the first official day of spring coming this week we’d be through with all this and just had to wait for the snow to melt. Guess I was wrong. They say after today we’ll have sunshine the rest [...]

Yesterday at 5:00 PM, I didn’t expect for two nice looking young men [...]

Blocks 1 - 6 and 7 - 12 have been retired. If you missed those designs, they can be purchased in the online store. By clicking on the text link under their pictures you’ll be magically transferred to the pattern page for the motifs.
I’m running late this morning so for those if you who are [...]

It’s a dreary day here and I am so anxious for spring to arrive. All the pretty green, pink and robin’s egg blue clothes are coming in the store and that does help to brighten things up but that dirty snow has got to go!
A reminder to everyone if you’re having trouble opening any of [...]

I know there should be a universal way for us to present patterns so they’re easy to find but it seems every program used has its own little glitches that require different processes.
I keep my photos in various Flickr albums for easy reference and access so if you click on one of the pattern pictures [...]
