Decisions and Change

Potato Patato and the Winner

Do you say poyn·seh·tee·uh or poin-sed-uh? Apparently either way is okay, depending on who you ask! It would be an understatement to say I love flowers and have used them a few times in my artwork. Winter always makes me think of the poinsettia plant and so it’s probably no surprise that once again, I’ve… Continue reading Potato Patato and the Winner

Redwork Ornaments

My last day of #Needlevember was a free-motion quilted ornament.
