People who know me know that I love to ask questions that generally lead to "six degrees of separation." Asking those questions usually leads to a discussion of sewing, and you know how much I love that. Recently I was asked to attend St. Louis Fashion week. Shouldn't need to tell you that...

Cutwork 8/8/08

I just returned from a short trip. By the time I got to Phoenix, it was 112° and it was 115° where I was staying. Naturally that got me to thinking about . . . Christmas.
