“Les Monsieurs” Have Arrived
And my second collection that was shown at Quilt Market … Les Monsieurs Today, I’m calling all boys … Gentlemen, start your engines! A fun, youthful collection that is about doing what most boys love … racing, building and pretending to be like Dad. Available in 3 versatile colourways. Here is Aviator (a bit earthy, […]
Quilt Market Spring 2013
I have been overwhelmed with a mountain of work since getting back home. But finally I have sorted through images. So, go grab yourself a cup (or glass) of whatever you may enjoy drinking while you relax, sit back and enjoy the visual feast of Quilt Market as I saw it. First up, the non-printed […]

In with Spring!
Was unable to remain patient this morning while I waited for a delivery of yardage … Yes, YARDAGE!, of my collections, so I set to work. Out with the old, the dingy, the dirty, the dark (winter slush, salt and muck does wonders for an already dreary entry rug). And in with the new! (thanks […]

Evolution of a logo
