My most recent fabric postcard features a cardinal. It is machine appliqued, hand embroidered, and hand quilted. It measures approx 5 in x 7 in.
I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I used to "suture for a living", I continue "to live to sew". These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.

Shiver of Shark Socks
I knit these socks using a kit from Jimmy Beans Wool. The pattern is
Shiver of Sharks Socks
by Laura Cunit. The yarn is
Valkyrie Fibers Matte Sock in colorways Shallow Waters and Open Ocean. I had to reknit the bind off twice as it was too tight using Icelandic bind off suggested in the pattern. I ended up Jenny's magic bind off. I still don't feel super comfortable knitting socks but they turned out pretty well.
