Homecoming

A package arrived from California today.

The projects from my next book came back from

the publisher.  They left me last July and have 

been hanging out in Cali having their photos taken.

It was nice to see them again.

In 3 weeks we will be leaving for our big

trip ~ 3 weeks!  And by the time I get back

home sometime in July, it will be time for

my book to be released. 

Something to look forward to!

Remember you can pre-order right now on 

Amazon so you can get your copy ASAP.  

Then you can get  busy making fun projects

for Christmas... or anytime.

Your can pre-order it here.

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

around my American Homestead!

Now Booking!

I have been booking lectures, workshops and

retreats into late 2016.  If you or your group

have an interest, please take a look at my 

Lecture/Workshop page  on my website.  If you 

have questions, talk to me, I'm very open to

working with your group to make a fantastic

experience that fits your group perfectly.

The photo above is a pincushion I made to 

demonstrate how to use a common kitchen

item to transfer embroidery designs onto 

your dark wool.

In my Wool Gathering lecture aka Everything You

Ever Wanted To Know About Wool Applique But

Didn't Even Know To Ask,  you will learn how to

make a perfectly sized backing from cotton, flannel 

or homespun for your wool applique mats or

tablerunners.  The mat shown above is the demo

piece for this easy process ~ this also uses a common

kitchen item to make it easy for you.

When my next book is released in July, there

will be a new lecture and trunk show about 

the book.  Classes for the projects as well.

In the near future I will be taking a few trips

to western Ohio each month.  If any shops 

or guilds in the area are interested in lectures

or classes, just let me know.

And always remember, I LOVE to travel!

My New Book!

Yesterday I had a fun surprise!

I was helping a customer and went to the website

of my publisher, C&T Publishing and saw the cover

for my next book is already on their website.  The 

book is not due to be released until July but it is 

available for pre-order right now, right here.

It is filled with lots of projects for wool felt, felted 

wool and quilting.  The book is a Christmas book 

but change up the colors and you can use the projects

for any time of year.  I hope you like it!
