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!

I was working on the mini blue quilt on the bus on my way home from work today, and overheard a woman a few rows back (I was sitting in the front, in the rows of seats that face each other) comment to the guy next to her, “Would you look at what that girl [...]

Got my issue today of Mark Lipinski’s Quilter’s Home magazine. I *love* the plastic flamingo on the cover. Plastic flamingos are so goofy but that’s what makes them so much fun.
