She has some amazing quilt designs and has new ones all the time. Her creativity never stops. To see her work and learn more about her you can find all that information here.

Hot dog Pillowcases
Last month Jeanne Grabowski showed us how to make pillow cases using the hot dog method. I found a few great videos that walk you through the process. The first is from Missouri Star Quilt company. The next is from Shabby Fabrics.

Paper piecing
In January our program was about Lucy Boston crosses using paper piecing. Here is a website that has the acrylic templates and the papers for making the Lucy Boston Crosses. They have many other shapes and sizes as well.

Red Barn Retreat
This is a great time to start planning that weekend getaway or retreat with your friends. A relaxing place to do that is Red Barn Retreat located close by in Marcellus, Michigan. Bring up to 7 of your friends with you. They do all the cooking, you just have fun. 

Poinsettia Pillow
Couldn't resist this pillow pattern. I know it is past Christmas but was too cute not to share. Thanks to the Crafty Quilter.
