TULIP TIME

I can't punch fast enough to get all my designs punched, finished, photographed, and kitted up.  I'm still working on the Stilt House and have the ELEGANT FARMERS on my drawing board.  Next weekend is the kick off of the Cedarburg Spur of MIDWEST FIBER ARTS TRAIL.  If you're in town or in Grafon,  or near the Ye Ole School House you might have noticed explosions of YARN covering trees, and bridges.   The Merry Makers will be out again tonight doing their magic at the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts.  My studio will be open tonight at 7pm, and I'll have coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and some treats.  So if your around, stop in.  Tomorrow is the 2nd Saturday and that means Lunch & Punch for 10-2.  Keep on punchin.

MINERVA STAR OF THE SEA

I've updated this little charmer.  She is still one of my favorite designs.  Minerva is now posted on ETSY.  I've got a couple of new designs on my drawing board and a couple of older ones that need some updating.  There is always lots to do in the COOP and it's all fun stuff!  Keep on punchin.
