Favorite Crafts

By day, I'm an IT and Quality Assurance Manager at a non-profit. By night, I'm a wife to my fantastic husband, and a mom to my rescue pup, Ruby. I'm always up for learning something new. I'm a jack of all trades and master of none - and I'm OK with that!

I got my sewing machine for Christmas 2014, so I'm brand new to sewing and quilting - but I've dived in head-first. I'm having fun building my fabric stash, and especially love Cotton & Steel, Robert Kaufman, Birch Fabrics, and Cloud9 lines. I'm currently obsessed with teals, mustard yellows, and greys. I generally love modern fabrics, geometric prints, and anything "funky." But I'm not huge fan of batiks or the color pink.

I think Elizabeth Hartman patterns are too cute for words, and her Fox Face quilt was the first thing I started piecing when I began quilting this past Spring. I also have several JayBird Quilts patterns. I'm enjoying learning different techniques, but I'm still intimidated by paper piecing. But I'm feeling more and more confident in my rotary cutting skills. For Christmas, I'm making a ton of mug rugs for my coworkers and my husband's coworkers, and I'm loving my Marti Michell templates!

I'm an avid reader, and my Kindle is a constant companion. My favorite reads are science fiction and fiction by authors like Neal Stephenson, Connie Willis, and Tom Holt. I'll also admit to sneaking in some literary "junk food" in the form of the occasional romance novel (historic romances are my favorite - and I'm a sucker for anything with a Scottish Highlander). I also love movies and terrible television shows, and I can binge-watch with the best of them.

My favorite animals are elephants and giraffes, and also have a soft spot for owls and foxes. Lately I've been listening to Delta Rae Radio on Pandora while I'm sewing, but Jason Mraz is my favorite musician. I never miss seeing him live when he's nearby.

I love things on my walls; my home doesn't feel complete until I've got my artwork up (and plenty of it!). I collect gig posters and other screenprinted flatstock artwork. Some of my current favorite artists are Todd Slater, Daniel Danger, Jay Ryan, and Olly Moss. I also love photography, and I like messing around with my Canon DSLR - but I don't do enough of that lately. I also enjoy unique artwork from small-town artists; I love the snapshot it gives me into other people's lives.
