2015 Gift Guide for Creatives
The holiday shopping season is here and the pressure is on to find just the right gifts for friends and family. I always appreciate a solid recommendation of what to choose from someone who really know what they’re talking about. I don’t know a lot about power tools or neckties or fine wine, but…
L’Shanah Tova (Happy New Year)
Today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. We’re dipping apples in honey for a sweet new year, eating round challah, and reflecting on the year that’s gone by and the year that’s now beginning. L’Shanah Tovah.
Pattern in Progress

An Article About Penny Gold’s Quilt In Generation Q
