Oh, April! What a dreamy month. I love that the weather finally breaks and we get a beautiful background over which to celebrate Earth Day, or as many people are treating it now, Earth Month!

Lotus Duster Update & Sale
Ahhh, the Lotus Duster. In a lot of ways I consider this design my "breakthrough" - when it was first published for free on my blog it was what really got people noticing Morale Fiber, and it was also a huge lesson for me in how to write, grade, and lay out written patterns. 6... Continue Reading →

Winter Project Updates
Hi there! It's not necessarily been crickets around here, but I do feel its time for some project updates of things I've recently completed.
