That, my friends, is a picture of 104 scarves! Back in January, I was contacted by a woman who has talked to me at several Art Fairs here in Redlands. She is on a planning committee of a local golf association – they are planning a large golf tournament that ends with a lunch at the country… Continue Reading

Both my classes will have 18 Bernina sewing machines available to use during the entire class!

Perhaps I’m not the only one who likes it: At the show I did last weekend (pictured above),… Continue Reading
