Home and Settling in...
Final show is done! Unpacking and inventory, organizing and planning underway. Zoom Classes & Destash Sales, Summer Retreat, Open Studio, New Designs and more! So much for retiring! Ha!

I'm working on the website to update what is still available until the sale. Many kits are already sold out. If an order is placed for a kit that is out of stock, I will check my inventory to see if it can still be made, but that will depend on the fringe bead accent inventory and I'll let you know.

A little slice of heaven, the view from my office out over the wintery fields.

Kimono I - Spring

The second in my kimono series for my new book "Four Seasons Kimono".

I love how the fringe and necklace came out. Playing with peyote tube beads and linking them for a waterall of strands, and fun with the lower fringe with loopy overlapping strands.

The colors in this are so hard to photograph, soft frosted spring greens and yellow with the cream and rich reds of the poppies. The kimono has pale lavendar and frost silverlined white patterning and the color block is actually a rich deep marigold color with a sprinkling of tangerine accents. If you've ever seen any of my other designs in person, you know the photos on the website just don't do them justice.

PRINTED PATTERN	$14.00
PDF PATTERN	$8.00

Interested in Beading & Art Retreats?

I'll be planning more retreats. To find out more sign up for my beading retreat newsletter. The Retreats will be open sessions. Enjoy working inside or outside overlooking the Teton Mountains. You can learn anything I have kitted in my studio or pulled from my HUGE bead stash, OR you can bring a beading project you've needed help with! There will be beading, applique quilt designs, and who knows what else available by then for you to explore and create!

Applique Art Quilt Designs!
Click here to see the quilt designs. Working on getting back to the "drawing board" again. I love to draw and creating these different designs are so much fun. If you have a pattern idea e-mail it to me. If you want your fluffy buddy imortalized in fabric, I do custom designs, .75 cents per sq. inch., portrait with placement and color code chart. If it's one I'd like to use as a design for retail and it's okay with you, you will receive the pattern for FREE! Just e-mail me several pictures of your furry friend close up and in action, and his/her name and a little about them. It helps me capture more of their personality.
