I’m so thrilled to announce that I am now designing fabrics with Marcus Fabrics! My first line, Treasured Past, has been released and I’m so proud of it! Be sure to share this with your local quilt shop. Ships in April, which will be here before you know it!
There are several FREE patterns available at Marcusfabrics.com as well as a Premium pattern available there or my website, TraditionalPrimitives.com.
Wow! 2024 went by so fast! Don’t you agree? Can you believe that it is only 8 weeks until the Academy of Applique? Whoo Hoo!! I can't wait!!!!
Registration for the Academy closes on Jan 15, 2025. I'm sure that you won't want to miss out. I believe there are still a few seats left in my classes. Head to AcademyofApplique.com today and reach out to Barbara who will share what is still available.
My two classes are Floret and Folk Art Whimsey and I’m in love with them! We will learn wonderful tips and tricks for applique in both classes along with a touch of EPP in Floret. Join me and I will show you how you can make these blocks with ease!
PS- if you are in my class be sure to reach out to me if you’d like a fabric kit, thread kit and/or supplies! You can also go to TraditionalPrimitives.com and order direct there by searching the name of the project. I will make sure it is in the classroom for you when you arrive! I will be making them soon. 😁 Info is on the supply sheet.

How about joining me for a Fall Hand Stitching Retreat on Table Rock Lake near Branson, MO? We had such a blast this past spring, several gals asked me to plan another one! So we'll be gathering September 22-27th, 2024 for some great handwork stitching, cross stitching, punching, hooking or whatever your heart desires! Look at this beautiful lodge!! I've got 2-3 spots left! You'd be in one of the bedrooms shown below, depending on how things work out as folks sign up. Bring a friend or travel alone ready to meet some new friends! We will focus on friendship and stitching any sort of handwork or fiber craft you love to work on.
The cost for a shared room is $480. If you want to make that bunk room with single beds a private room for yourself the cost is $800. This includes 4 full days of stitching in the beautiful lodge seen below, 5 nights of lodging, breakfast choices each day, 2 casual evening meals and a welcome night charcuterie appetizer. We will have so much fun!
We have another stitch along starting in Woolie Friends Stitch A Longs! Join us for a Free Whispers of Fall block each week for 12 weeks! Pre-Orders are starting…NOW! 12 design teams are getting together to bring you a wonderful project. We have 2 blocks released so far!
. Find info on my block along with links to the other designers’ kits at TraditionalPrimitives.com! 
New Classes Announced for Next Spring!
AcademyofApplique.com has all the details for my new designs I'll be teaching next spring during the big event. Let me tell you, these events are so very special. I just love hanging out with ladies who love applique' as much as I do...truly! Please consider joining me for Folk Art Whimsey...
These projects are VERY fun to make! Using my unique technique for starch basting the shapes to have a wonderful finished edge with ease, you will have these shapes prepared in no time to make these stunning blocks. Finish them as seen here as a one block quilt, or add a border or multiple blocks to make a larger quilt! We will learn how to make all the shapes and discuss ways to make them into larger quilts and incorporate secondary designs to make the viewer gasp with delight. Folk Art Whimsey is a bit easier than most of my projects giving you a chance for a very quick finish. It has a bit of English Paper Piecing as well as Applique'. Floret is an intermediate level and will surprise you how quickly the shapes come together. Layers of applique create such dimension and interest. Any color changes to the kits can be made if you want me to build you a custom kit.

I'm so thrilled to be teaching at Baltimore On The Prairie again this year, September 4-7, 2024! If you love to spend time with about 100 others who love the art of applique, this event is for you! We learn so much about many techniques of applique and it's so wonderful to be around those who love quilts and stitching as much as the rest.
This year, I have 2 class choices available. Session A is wool applique on pre quilted silk. It is called Rachael's Dream. We learn several options for preparation of the shapes and of course the wool applique process. Optional fabric and thread kits are available containing the pre quilted silk in a taupe or greige color and wool for the applique. This whimsical antique styled project was inspired by the Jacobean embroidery works of the past and is an absolute joy to work on! The silk is very lightweight and easy to handle as we stitch. You'll be amazed how wonderful this is to stitch. So relaxing and enjoyable!
It’s about time to sign up for classes at The Academy of Applique for 2024! Once again I’m so honored to be teaching at this special event! If you enjoy handwork, good food, good conversation, learning new thing about handwork and making friends….the Academy is for you!
These are my projects for next year- Dancing Blooms...
