Isn't that Crayola box the cutest thing you have ever seen??? At first glance it looks like a box of sidewalk chalk. Then you open the lid.
Welcome! Let's have some adventures with quilting! (& sewing!)

Color Me a Rainbow... Quilt Market
Here are a few snapshots from International Spring Quilt Market, held right here in Salt Lake City where I was able to work (have fun) in the Riley Blake Designs' booth. Don't mind the goofy smile.

Mini~Snippets: Little Birdies!
The free tutorial for this adorable little pincushion is now available HERE.

| #littlebirdiepincushion |
More ideas:
- Make a sachet by adding a little lavender or a few drops of essential oil to the stuffing.
- Stitch a folded ribbon or string into the center seam between the wings and you've got an easy Christmas ornament.
- Glue a hair clip to the bottom and clip it to random places.
- Glue your Little Birdie to a large button base for more stability.
- Insert a 1" magnet with the stuffing then stick your Little Birdie to random places.
And here's how you can make 146 at a time...
UPDATE: See full instructions to make a flock HERE.

| 292 wings |
 |
| Glue 8 sets of wings to each 2-1/2" strip for bodies, stitch to 2-1/2" strips for head/tail, then cut apart. |
 |
| Fold each bird in half, insert beak and chain piece. Ready to go to Quilt Market! |
And how to meet quilty friends... here are just a few snapshots.

Sweet Tweets...
My latest little mini Snippet for the sewing room...
You know you want to make one!!
Join me at >> Quiltscapes Studio (that's just a fancy way to say, "Come on over to the house and we'll make stuff!") Wednesdays, 9:00 am to 9:00 pm.
>> Tutorial with a downloadable free pattern is now available!!
Below is a little photo shoot with my cute friend Ruth @ Ruthie Quilts during the Utah Quilt Festival last month. Ruth taught a class on her adorable covered retractible tape measure... what a cute little snippet! She even paper-pieced the little house!
...then she tested my instructions for this sweet little tweet (or is it twit?... one of us has an attitude, lol!...)
Davidene's Quilt Shoppe kindly allowed us to use their little table topper (<<pattern by Nancy Halvorsen) for our photo shoot.
Stinkin' cute...
