Yesterday I was in the mood to create something colorful. I looked through my file of old patterns and decided to revisit one I hadn't made in several years – the turtle. Although I originally made these turtles with quilting cotton, looking at the pattern again I thought I would give it a try in…
jingle snails
Another windy, rainy November day here in Wellesley. The leaves are falling off the trees en masse and it's getting dark early now. I think winter is just around the corner.

rainbow fish
