My name is Anjea, and I live in Austin, TX, with my DH and two Siberian huskies. I am a quilter with a penchant for brights and batiks, an epee fencer that dabbles in sabre, and a lefty with a strange affection for flamingos. Please comment and let me know that you stopped by!
Beeker and Bunsen want to thank Husky Haven for giving them a second chance!

The class yesterday was good and bad. The good part was that I learned some new tips and tricks, particularly with outer corners and preparing applique pieces. The bad part was due to how the teacher treated me for the first half of the day.

I may get in over my head – I think I may just do ANOTHER BOM this year! And this second one surprises me, as it wouldn’t typically fall into a “me” style or category. January’s is just so cute, though!

I found this super cute BOM online. The girl that makes it is about my age and Dutch. Her blog is in both Dutch and English, and she makes super cute stuff. The instructions/patterns are in English. I’m using fusible for the applique but doing hand embroidery for each one. [...]
