My show is just a couple days away now, but I took a few minutes to photograph my newly made Mod House Ornaments: When posting these on social media yesterday I got a few questions about the pattern; I designed these 6 years ago, and the pattern can be found in my e-book Create Handmade… Continue Reading
Wahoo! My Mid Century Modern House Pillows pattern is in print in the Spring 2015 issue of Interweave’s Modern Patchwork! You may remember my Mid Century Modern House Pillows that I made for my family room: I really love them! And when the call for this magazine came out, I thought they would be a… Continue Reading

It would project a couple of pix before I’d go jiggle the mouse to turn it… Continue Reading
This final (for now) house shape I’m using in my mod house ornaments is called “Mies” after Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – apparently his friends and colleagues called him Mies, so I figured I’d do it too, so it looks like I’m “in the know” as it were! One house he’s famous for is… Continue Reading
