Inspiration & Beyond
I love to sew. Well I did when I was a kid - my grandmother was an amazing sewist and creative. Somehow - I lost the love for the next 20 or so years. Then I needed drapes for my bedroom in 2014 - and they were a FORTUNE! SO I called my grandmother and she and Izzy taught me to make Roman Shades. After that - I was hooked! I made several quilts, learned to paper piece, and I was enjoying it. I had the idea to start this website with my grandma.
But sometimes - as life does - we get delayed. And then it was too late - I lost my grandmother in the spring of 2017 and put away my threads. I couldn't look at them, or the projects or anything else.
So I boxed up my UFOs, I packed away my machine and ignored it for a while. And then it was time to make masks for COVID. The feel of the fabric, the hum of the machine, and creating something from noting - I was reminded of my love. and I've been with it ever since. I even bought my first long arm!
​
I've had a few. stops and starts - and probably will again - but I want to share what I've learned and teach others about the endless possibilities. My posts will capture the projects I'm currently on - and things I've made in the past - I'm all about sharing.
