I worked on Phoebe’s quilt some this weekend. It’s going well, got three rows done, and then decided to put it back in the drawer for a while.

I thought it would be cute to … More
I’ve just added the Kit, Chloe and Louise notecards to the shop. I’m so so pleased with how these turned out. The printer did such a great job on these and I love that they’re notecards this time around.
Available while supplies last and then we’re moving on the next design!… More
Still thinking of toy ideas for the shop…

A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster.
