    Not sure I have a style exactly, but have strong feelings about color. I don't have a traditional bone in my body - so although I may use a traditional pattern, it will be contemporary when I'm...

    I have one and like it a lot, although it only gets used when I am doing small things - not good for yardage as it cools down. When it's hot, though, it's hot. Also it's lighter than my regular...

    When I first started, I would put together a group of fabrics, first choosing my focus (usually a print of some kind) and then build around that for a cohesive palette. I was not shopping for a...

    I also have a strip stick that I never use. It is just inefficient. I don't buy specialty rulers - like cooking tools - not interested in a "single tasker". I do love my Deb Tucker square ups and...

    I must have a color scheme of some type, but will range far and wide into that scheme. I tried a random scrap project once, and abandoned the idea pretty quickly - just not my thing.

    I use a stool with a curved bottom, creating some wobble. I love it - it's easy to turn and bend, easy to move from one machine to another and takes up very little space in my sewing room.
