For those who have made the mistake of asking me in the last five days, “What are you going to do next?” — a post, in detail. I know I’ve reached a level of complete and total craziness after reading the November issue of Martha Stewart Living...

Dear In Stitches Participants, Hi there! Wiping your brow? Exhausted? Sipping margaritas sewing machine-side after a brutal two-month assignment? We hear ya. We know the patchwork bag wasn’t easy, but hey! We learned a thing or two. For example? Make sure your...

Jenn emailed me a while back and asked if I’d be interested in helping with a rag rug project she was starting to benefit families working with Heifer International. Heifer is one of those non-profits I would drop just about everything for to help. Their mission...
