    Foundation Paper Piecing: Getting Set Up

    Why my method? Foundation Paper Piecing can be a mind bender for people new to the technique. After teaching the technique to multiple classes of middle schoolers, I decided to share the techniques and visual supports I use for them that help simplify and ease each of the layered skills…

    Fabric Collage – 2024 CA Deaf Quilting Retreat Drop & Sew Files

    I love quilt retreats that put me into community with likeminded quilters who are encouraging, curious, kind and low drama. While this can’t be said for every retreat I’ve attended, it’s definitely true of the annual California Deaf Quilting Retreat. I’m grateful to have been invited to join the group a few…
