2025 Annual Review
Most significant achievements:
Starting to use the bigger building, although still under renovation!
Late April, during shop hop we moved our fabrics into the front section of the building so that we'd have a bit more room with all the traffic.
Enjoyed putting this mini-brick project together. The handwheel turns and the needle goes up and down and the pedal oscillates.
For all customer who would like to incorporate my logo as part of their label (as the quilter), these are available at no charge for customer quilts that I quilt.

Fossilized Jewels City Windows - Earth Essence
At Lincoln County, WA fair, City Windows received a Special Award, as well as a blue ribbon.
Before sending 24 Karat Rondure back to Nancy Cargo, I had to capture how I had documented the quilt's success in the show circut. Unfortunately, not long after, due to complications from a surgical procedure, she passed away. I am honored that her husband Billy gave it back to me and I have it hanging in the new shop.

For a special friend - inspired by the Pam Bono design - Flying Home.
I named it "Flying Again by God's Grace". I worked with Greg Nelson for several months in 2003 while in San Francisco. He has now been diagnosed with a very unique Alzheimers, he is losing his words first. As a speaker, songwriter, singer ...this is especially difficult. But, by God's Grace he will fly again.
