Well, good news from the Sew and Vac repair guy. Seems there is quite a bit of thread and other detritus caught behind the bobbin case and the machine desperately needs to be oiled. He will take it apart and clean it all out, oil it and put it all back together for me. I…
Softies Only a Mother Could Love
Many of you may remember the two beautiful books put out by Penguin Australia – Softies and More Softies. I was honored to have two patterns published in each of these amazing books, and they really are amazing. Great photography, adorable patterns by some terrific and inspiring artists and soft toy makers, and just so…
in the studio today
Three white birds flying on the studio ceiling today. One last tall wading bird to make, and then all 16 pieces will be complete. I have at long last located on eBay some great driftwood bases for the tall birds. I think they're going to look awesome mounted on these really rough, weathered wood panels. …

The last in the series of three owls for my March show is completed. And I bought plane tickets yesterday! And reserved a hotel room – for one! I am officially going to Atlanta to install this show at Young Blood. I will fly down on Thursday night, March 5, set it all up Friday,…

teacup pincushions
Friday morning I had an hour free and got to go to an incredible estate sale in Needham. A little cape-style house was being emptied of its contents, clearly a lifetime of collected treasures from an elderly couple. I always feel so sad at these sales, seeing old family photos up for grabs along with…

patchwork crab
I've checked out a big stack of sculptural technique books from the library. Most of these are pretty old, 1960's and 70's, and the text is rather dated, but the images have gotten me inspired to branch out again. It has been birds birds birds here for nearly a year and a half now and…
