Wonder what the heck? I do. So, I'm not sure if you know that the City Quilter is closing in October (as of yet there is no final date). Dale and Cathy are ready to retire. While it's hard to see another quilt shop close, leaving a huge hole in the NY Quilting Landscape, I'm… Continue reading Did you ever?

Lighting a Candle
In the current issue of Generation Q Magazine there's an article on the care and feeding of your sewing machine. I have to admit to getting a little excited sharing this information with people. A little care for our machines goes a really long way. So this evening when my machine started misbehaving I… Continue reading Lighting a Candle

Quilting with Intention
Donna Morales-Oemig your fabric still speaks to my heart. Donna snow dyed a few pieces of Robert Kaufman's Radiance in the 2014/2015 winter when eastern Massachusetts got over 100 inches of snow. The perfect project came along, an idea with it and I started stitching. I haven't really quilted in a long time. Oh I've… Continue reading Quilting with Intention

A blog of blogs
I am a blog reader. When I open WordPress in the morning the Reader is there showing me who's recently posted, allowing me to comment, like, or move on. It is mostly quilt related, though I have a travel blog I read because she's a good writer and she commented on my blog a long… Continue reading A blog of blogs

After 20 years she finally has a name
Twenty years is a long time to be nameless. https://www.instagram.com/p/BAXgWIFtvnS/?taken-by=terilucas I brought this gal in December 1995, she's 20. Yep. She's 20. We've done a lot of good work together. This is the gal that I learned so much about quilting on. If she could talk...I'm sure she'd have stories. She's heard more than… Continue reading After 20 years she finally has a name

Monday Morning Quickie
Wednesday through Friday last week I attended the annual BERNINA Ambassador Reunion at the BERNINA Creative Center in IL. Melody Crust wrote a bit about it here. Attending the reunion/retreat is always a great joy meeting other ambassadors, learning what they do and the wide variety of work they're involved in. We're not all quilters!… Continue reading Monday Morning Quickie

finding a happy place
Sometimes the happiest moments happen when you're least expecting it. I know something about myself that is lovely to admit, I love to quilt and I love to teach quilting. These are the things in my quilterly life that I've come to know. I love the challenge of learning how to do something and the… Continue reading finding a happy place

Village Fabric Shoppe
On a chilly Saturday morning I packed quilts, Jeannie (B 790) and myself into the car and headed off to the Village Fabric Shop in Red Hook, NY. The Hudson Valley, rich in history and beauty, feels so much like home, it's always a pleasure to have an excuse to go there. Really I don't… Continue reading Village Fabric Shoppe

Guest Blogger: Sara Snuggerud – Do Sergers Scare You?
I met Sara a couple of years ago at BERNINA University. In between classes Sara shot video and interviewed a variety of VIP's (very interesting people) for her YouTube channel (see links below). What I didn't know, and have high regard for, is her serger prowess. Having learned how to, and taught serger threading I'm in… Continue reading Guest Blogger: Sara Snuggerud – Do Sergers Scare You?
