QuiltCam!

Just for fun, occasionally I will turn the webcam on in the studio so you can commiserate with my creative mess in progress and sew along with me!

Warning -- it's not always neat in here!  I'm not always dressed well or made up with my hair done ---as always, enter at your own risk!

And just so you know, I sing to the radio ---you may want ear plugs!

When am I on?  

Quilt-Cam is now streaming on Facebook Live and embedded after the fact into the blog posts archived below.

If you are on Facebook -- go to my QuiltvilleFriends Page, like my page and follow me and you will get a notification when I go live from within Facebook. I always send a message ahead of time alerting everyone to the time we are going live so give us a LIKE on Facebook and stay connected!
