5 Years of Red Earth Design Studio
Thanks to all of you, Red Earth Design Studio is 5 years old this month! The me that started this business in September 2018 had no idea what it would become—the projects I’d get to work on and the incredible professionals I’d get to work with. I couldn’t have imagined I’d have a portfolio of …

It’s almost the two-week mark! How are your Silence Tees coming along? Mine’s still in its baby phase; I haven’t been able to work on it much, since I strained my wrist last week and needed to save my knitting time for work samples. But I can’t wait to get back to it, since the …

Designiversary (Is That a Word?)
This week (it might even be this very day) marks the 3-year anniversary of my first design acceptance letter. It’s a big milestone. 3 years is time enough for a lot to happen; in the words of Bilbo Baggins, I’m not the same hobbit I once was. I’ve published 27 patterns to date, with more …
