I need one of you guys to come and model for me. My daughter is running out of patience and some pieces just don’t work with a selfie. THAT is why it has taken me so long to reveal my Touring Cape by Margaret Craig. I finished this more that a week ago. I blocked …
On February 20th the labor began, the journey to birth..yes I said birth, because every time I make a piece I feel like I have had a new baby. My projects are alive and have personalities, to me (no I am not clinically crazy). The patterns teach and motivate me as I go along. They …
