Welcome to my warehouse. I was finding that my studio was so packed with wonderful things to tempt you that I did not have space to work. I was becoming afraid of being crushed in an avalanche. So my husband and I have been trying to come up with a way to easily increase my storage space. My nephew found me a used Job Sit Trailer. One of those mobile offices that you would find at construction sites. This one was a reasonable price, with some elbow grease,a few repairs and some dirt work it is moved in and usable. My husband calls it either my shack or my Hobbit Hole, I think of it as my Pop-Up Warehouse. I am still getting everything situated inside, but it sure made life easier during my Spring Dash of Quilt Shows. I finally had all my inventory in one place and could restock quickly and easily before dashing off to the next wonderful quilt show.
Here we are moving the warehouse into its new home.
Pelican has a story to tell. On occasion I do have special requests from some of you. You are looking for that perfect color to go with… Susan had chosen a variety of hand marbled fabrics in the Chocolate Brown color and a variety of designs. She will be making Pelicans and needed a color for under the Pelicans wings. We talked and looked at photos. I experimented with the hand dyed background and then the hand marbled colors. This is the final results and I have been making and selling Pelican ever since.
Pavers is an easy 45″ x 56″ quilt. Double the yardage for a Twin and triple for a Queen. It is best to use a minimum of five different fabrics for the blocks. But I think ten fabrics would look great. Or even a scrappy one would be fun and us up all those scraps that seem to pile up. But currently I’m into a Blue/Purple phase. The next step is to get some kits put together for 
No Shoes!, is a piece by Karen Nickelson. She found the pattern while in Hawaii on vacation. Flip Flops are always out when the sun is out. I hate wearing socks, my toes want to breath. This is the fun kind of Flip Flops that I want to wear, bring on Summer. Oops, it’s only January.
This is my favorite piece of snow dyed fabric so far. I have been having a ton of fun trying new things and experimenting. With snow dying you just never know what will happen. Different dye colors attach at different rates, some come out bold and others more subtle. And it all depends on the rate that the snow melts at and how fast the fabric arrives at the setting temperature. The photo at the top is the entire yard piece. The one on the bottom is a close up, that shows the fractures the snow produces. And yes, I now have some of my snow dyed pieces on my web site 
Here we are once again. My rust printed fabric is a hit. I started using it in my quilt samples, because it has a very organic feel to it. That lead to selling it in my booth at quilt shows. And now, finally, I have it on my website. Check it out at 
This is the final product from one of my first snow dying experiments. I love how it came out, the fabric appears to have texture and depth. You can see where the ice crystals formed as the snow melted. And of course I now have tons of ideas to try out, different colors, a mix of colors, different amounts of snow and dye. The combinations are endless.
