The autumn sun, rich and golden, warmed most days and then quickly faded into winter all too soon. It was a busy season, but joy-giving. Autumn has always been a season of looking inward and focusing on the roots I put down, rather than the flowers that bloom. It’s a quieter rhythm—one where I can…

DIY Pinwheel Quilt
In 2019, I made a ballet pink dress with swans on it. I had about a yard of fabric left over and recently decided to make a pinwheel quilt from the leftover fabric. At first glance, the pinwheel pattern looks complicated (at least, it did to me), but it’s incredibly simple! In 2016 I made…
