Doodles and more
I hope by now, you have had time to do a little free motion quilting using your favorite doodles…I find it very relaxing. After 10 minutes of warm up, I’m usually in the zone, quilting away. The first 10 minutes can be the hardest…It takes the right brain at least that long to wrestle the…

The bride was beautiful, as was the setting: the sunny shores of Lake Michigan…It is no surprise then, that my doodles have taken a rather nautical turn: sailboats, sunshine, fish….

Located in the heart of downtown Stillwater, Minnesota-where the skies can often be ominous, this little stationery shop is always bright and cheery.
