It's Sunday evening and a bit chilly. I've been sewing most of the day working on the girls dresses and a new Bargello Heart. I've made one before but I'm teaching a class on it so I thought I'd make another one. I love Bargello's. I'm off to Hoffman tomorrow to pick up some batik's and Bali Pop's that came in that have been back ordered forever. If any of you have seen the new Hoffman kit (beautiful) the border print is spectacular, I'm getting a couple of those bolts as well.
A place for friendships, fun, creativity and laughter!

About Me
I am 45 years young and married to a wonderful man Richard. He is a fireman/quilter, hehe, we've been married almost 3 years. I have 3 children Breanna is 20, Melissa is 14 and Nicolas is 12. I have 2 step children Kristen is 31 and Kiel is 10, my son-in-law is Frank and I have 2 grand daughters Addison is 2 and Brooklyn is 10 months.
It's kind of a funny story how the shop came about. I was going through some of life's trying times. My sister talked me into taking a quilting class to "relax". Relax I thought, yeah right, I failed Homec, I couldn't even sew on a button. To stop her nagging I signed up for a class. That was it "I got the bug". I finished my quilt and my sister having a long arm I asked her to quilt it for me. No, she said, you have to do it yourself. That machine was huge, it took up half her garage, talk about intimidating. Well, I quilted it and caught that bug too. I was a single mother of 3, working full time but needed to supplement my income so I bought a long arm and quickly had so much business I could hardly keep up. My real job required me to travel and I hated being away from my kids. I started researching opening a quilt shop. After almost a year of research and pondering I thought to myself if I don't do it now I'm going to kick myself in a year or so. I took equity out from my home, started running and now it's 6 years later! Welcome to the Quilter's Cocoon!
