Shiny HSTs Chevrons and an HST Tutorial
Thanks to my attempt to avoid finishing the (not) Purdue quilt top last week, I got myself started on another – much smaller – project, using my fabrics with gold metallic ink.

Have you ever had one of those days when you know there’s a project that you should be working on, but you just can’t get into it? I’m there right now with one of my projects – that quilt for my little sister. It’s kind of sad really. I have all the blocks cut and…

I like to keep track of great ideas and tutorials for crafts, interior decorating ideas, design and infographics, fashion and a whole lot more.

I guess I’m fairly sick today… the thermometer says I have a temperature of 100.2 degrees. This is not awful, but it’s not great either. I had planned on spending a lot of the day today working on product for the new store… but since I’m sick… I don’t want to make anything to sell to…
