I have been piecing together thoughts with cloth for quite a while. The creative process for each bag starts with the idea that pattern and texture is not limited to the traditional methods that come up when "quilted" is said. That the visual texture of the purse can be in the random placement of the cloths used and the pattern is then created with the stitches. Fabrics are a wide range from tradi

tional cottons to hand dyed Silks to coffee bean burlap sacks. Solids and patterns are carefully paired with burlap. Some text and images from the coffee farms are preserved. Each bag is one of a kind! Any preferences to share? Single strap, double strap, inner pockets and closure are all available upon request.

This amazing group will be playing with the Blackbird Society Orchestra in a couple weeks at Tredyffrin Public Library! Saturday, February 10.
Expect tuba, brass, clarinets, and at least 6 saxophones divided among 3 players!
*Full disclosure, I’m pretty over the moon for one of the players myself.*

Jazz has been called "America's Classical Music" and tonight, the Blackbird Society Orchestra will take you on a musical journey through the "Roaring 20s," featuring Duke...

I hope everyone has had a good start to the holiday season.
I'm happy to announce that I am sewing exclusively this year for Harvest Coffee Roasters based in Medford NJ. They have been one of my burlap sources and we finally had the time to plot out the items for their line of holiday gifts.

I hope this link works, I will be plying my sewing skills to add some hearts to the quilts being organized by the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild. I'm sharing the information here incase anyone would like to add to the cause. It isn't much, but the idea of literally wrapping love around the victims/families of this senseless crime is a start.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry to have been so quiet lately.
I've been working towards my ultimate career goal of teaching. This year that meant taking a full year assistant position at the school I've been subbing at for a few years.
Good news: I work with some amazing people and have fun with the students.
Bad news: Monday-Friday working means my creative energy is zapped.

I'm still available for requests, but have not been able to do too many markets. Should this change I will keep you all posted!
Thanks for reading,
Jo

Adventures in baby gift sewing! This baby sling (modeled by my childhood toy Ewok) was coordinated by the mom to be. Tree ring emblems and a fuzzy green fleece lining will be keeping her winter baby, due any day now, snug as a bug.

Another baby quilt! Dots and lines. Such a simple pattern but came out so fun! Makes me think of a bookcase of adventures for this little dude.
Back panel is lovely fabric designed with large dots and tattoo-inspired birds.

Why yes, yes I do bring my own coffee mug with me when I hangout in the Greensgrow Greenhouse. What better way to spend a weekend than with plants and amazing vendors spreading holiday cheer?
