This guy had arrived at his little boy's house, so I can share it wth you! My first real improv/scrap piece and it was a struggle for me to work this way. For all of you who excel at this, 👏🏽 Hope baby August drags this thing around for the next 25 years. #madeinsandiego #madeinusa #modernquilt #handdyedcotton #fiberreactivedye #organic #organiccotton #quilt #quilting #cozytime

Goodbye, old friend- may you find a happy home soon!

I always find a favorite spot on each quilt... This one happens to be right by the label. Love the contrast and little magenta speckles in this hand-dyed color I call grey ocean. That name sounds better than grey/blue/greeny-pinkish. You can buy this beauty at the Mingei museum in Balboa Park, starting next week! #solidnotsolid #cozytime #organiccotton #fiberreactivedye #modernheirloomquilt #homedecor

Nothing wrong with tucking your dog in for a nap; they like #cozytime too

Multitasking: hand stitching the binding on this waves quilt while teaching my 5 year old adobe illustrator. #nevertooearly

Wait, what?? Even though it may be 85 degrees in my neck of the woods/beach, Christmas is approaching. Order by November 3rd for Pre-Christmas delivery! Still time for something custom, too. #madeinsandiego #madeinusa #smallbusiness #handdyed #organic #quilt #homedecor
