How is your summer sewing? Every so often, I take a break from making masks to sew something else. It’s a nice creative break! I’m participating in the kraft-tex Color of the Month Challenge, and July’s color is Marsala. Rich and warm like red wine, this material inspired me to make an Ohio applique themed…

Have you recovered from the holidays yet and slipped into a new routine for the new year? I’m working on this. One of my goals is to start running again, so I’ve signed up for a race in April. It is a 10 mile race, and I’ve only ran around 3 miles at once, so…
