About Me
Hi, I'm Lynn Harris. I learned to sew from my mother when I was very young and was encouraged by my grandmother, who always told me that anything I made was the “most beautiful thing” she had ever seen.I take inspiration from my husband and three amazing children. We live in Michigan where we grow vegetables and raise chickens. I enjoy many kinds of needlework and love to knit, spin, embroider, and browse my collection of vintage children’s books.

Super Hero: Behind the Scenes Look at a Quilt Blogger's Son
He is my super hero.
His special skills involve being tall enough to hold
and help display quilts for photo sessions.
And being patient with the elements (strong winds, rain, snow etc.)
while I try to squeeze in multiple photo shoots
on brief and sometimes rare visits home.
It can be exhausting
and sometimes he thinks he's my butler. What a ham.
He often has great artistic suggestions on how to show the quilts.
However, I think those ideas are just an excuse to use his super hero skills to go climbing in the rickety loft of the barn.
Here's a big thank you to M, my supermodel super hero.
These photos are outtakes from the photo shoot for my Atomic Pinwheels pattern.

Happy New Year
We're looking forward to what the new year will bring!
If you interested in New Year Resolutions, have a look at Woody Guthrie's list from 1942. It's a pretty good list.
May your new year be filled with wonderful opportunities.

Winter Wonderland
To celebrate the start of winter today we went out to enjoy our freshly fallen snow.
We live on a glacial moraine that is filled with interesting geological features. Today we walked up a kame in the state recreation area. You can see the cone shaped hill there in the right side of the photo below.
Michigan is really a pretty interesting place to live. You may remember when I wrote about the kettle hole in our yard.
"The hill in front of you, known as a kame, was formed thousands of years ago when water from melting glacial ice flowed through a large crack in the ice. Glacial melt water carried sand, gravel, and rocks, depsiting them at the base of the crack to form the kame. To help picture this, imagine how sand flows through and hourglass and creates a rounded pile of sand in the bottom of the hourglass."
I'm thrilled to have everyone home for a few days. Let the festivities begin!
Happy Solstice.
