And I am in a place I want to be, the AQS Show in Lancaster for the day, and then will see friends who got married about a month after my sweetie and me. I met Jules in PA, though it wasn't until we were living in GA that our friendship blossomed. And she's stuck… Continue reading If you’re reading this it must be April 1st
Starting with gratitude this morning. I'm grateful for batiks. (If you follow me on Instagram this, and all the photos in this post, may look familiar.) These one and a half inch strips are being stitched to orange and purple solid to create 9 patches, that may be set on point, though I'm not quite… Continue reading Enjoying and Thankful

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
Today we welcome guest blogger Jennifer O'Brien. I met Jennifer years ago at a local quilt show as she demonstrated the proper way to use 505 basting spray. What a huge difference this has made in my machine quilting. 505 is fave of all the basting sprays, low odor, easily repositioned, and doesn't add to… Continue reading Welcome Jennifer O’Brien
First bit of Inspiration: Head over to Generation Q Magazine today. We've got a book review for Wanderlust Quilts by friend of the blog Mandy Leins of Mandalei Quilts.
