I heart this pincushion!!

It is big and bold and I love it! It is made with one of Moda's honeybuns. If you haven't fallen for Moda's pre-cut fabric yet, go check out this awesome blog: Moda Bakeshop! A great place to see what to do with jelly rolls, honey buns, turn-overs, and charm packs! The inspiration here is endless!

I love to sew!!!

Some 40 count

is so tightly woven it feels like 60 count! I am dying of frustration here! I am using 4X magnifiers on this sucker and it is so s-l-o-w going!But anyhow, I'll stop griping long enough to say, this is a sneak peek at my new design! It is called Highways and Hedges. I also just got back my framed piece for Colonial Garden, so THAT will be released in about a week or so! Whoo~hoo!(pictures to follow soon!)

Political Statement Ahead!! Caution!

Please forgive me, I know this blog is not about politics. But I am so appalled and shocked today I cannot be silent. Those who know me well, know that I am pro-life. I am for life in every case. I feel abortion is selfish and murder. So there is it.
The New York Times is publishing an interview with Ruth Bader-Ginsberg, our out-going supreme court justice. This article is so telling about her politics and radical feminism. Please people! We have to understand the link between abortion and eugenics!! Don't know what eugenics is? It is the ideology embraced by Hitler, in which society is "perfected" by the weeding out of "undesirables"! Here is what Ruth Bader-Ginsberg just said:

"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of."

This is eugenics people! This is the same idea that drove Hitler! This is what Margaret Sanger-the founder of Planned Parenthood believed in! If you don't think this affects you, you are wrong! Our country has embraced infanticide and its all downhill from there! All people deserve life! All! PEOPLE are not undesirable!


OK, I'm sorry to burden you all with this, I am just so shocked to find out that this is the belief system of someone making policy in our country.

Happy 4th of July!!
