So I did a thing today..
I always get a bit nervous on “print” day. I know that each week you print or save the clues for a particular design and mystery, but today I sent book four, “Seven of Debi’s Favourite Designs” to print. None of these has been seen by the public. I have seen them as have my…

So Much Fun
It is Labour Day here in New Zealand. Most have the day off and are enjoying our lovely spring weather. It has been a very mild winter with spring looking to be warm and summer just gorgeous. My cherry and magnolia trees have already bloomed and are into their leafy beauty. As I look forward…

Behind the Scenes
When I got back from teen camp, caught up on the washing (both camp washing and home washing), and slept for a while I finally got to open the studio door. I forgot the “mess” I had left a week and a half before. My “studio” is a large bedroom in our home and I…

I’m BAACK
I don’t know about you, but as I get older I love to go away for a while, but I truly love being home in my own bed. I spent last week with the teens of our church at teen camp. I had 23 girls in my care and it was truly an amazing week.…

Dark or Light?
When you’re making a mystery quilt (any quilt really), do you prefer a lighter background or a darker one? I think I have this silly unwritten rule in my head that all backgrounds must be light. I really need to jump out of this silly box and shake it up! For example, I had originally…

Classic Vintage
Today was the day I got to sit for a few hours with block design books and peruse through to find those “normal” blocks, the “go-to” blocks of eras past. I found so many I wanted to use, but alas a quilt can only be so big! I found most quilts had lattice as well,…

Birthday Playing
Did you ever feel like you were so far behind on projects, you are chasing your own tail?? That’s me this week. With the computer crash, having extra grandkids in the house (sewing room became a bedroom – teenage boy!), and life in general… the past few weeks have been very slow in the cutting…

Preparing the FUN…
Our grandchild count in the house has been more than normal for the past few weeks. While we have the extras and my studio has become a bedroom, I have been working a lot on organizing fabrics and designs… getting ready to dig in and have some fun. My life recently has found me shoulder…
