There is no difference. Being cozy is part of my creative practice.

Spot the difference: “I’m having a really productive day in the studio” vs “It’s snowing outside and I’m staying home to sew and listen to audiobooks”

A lot of things are terrible, but starting Friday with the grand re-opening of May Day Cafe as a worker owned cooperative isn’t one of them ✨☕️🥐✨

the front and back of a small 2’ x 3’ quilt edited so they are seen side by side on a blank white background. the front of the quilt has curving fabric shapes with stars and horses appliquéd and embroidered on it, and the back is mostly rectangles and triangles pieced together. the colors on both sides are various shades of purple and blue with bits of pale green, sunny yellow, orange, and pink. some of the fabrics are floral prints. The front also has the text appliquéd on it, “I’m dreaming through the joy and the pain” in hot pink letters

finished quilt “Dreaming Through the Joy And the Pain,” 2024. i’ve felt really nervous about sharing this one because it’s so personal, but am super proud of it. it’s got a bunch of beadwork, embroidery, and hand-appliqué as well as being entirely hand-quilted!

Jamie this is so so beautiful. Big fan of considering the back of the quilt as well as the front 💖

Packing for Miami after I’ve already switched to Minnesota winter mode is so challenging, I never get it right!!
