I can say with… Continue reading I like the back

Getting ready to start a couple of projects
I started Staten Island Sunset at MQX and need to do a bit of frogging before I continue. In the mean time I have another idea that may or may not be part of the "City" series of quilts or I have another idea rambling around in my head.

Take Me Right Into The “Feather Zone”
I've quilted for Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero of Kaleidoscope Collections since shortly after we met on the set of Quilting Arts TV in 2009. As I stitch I'll send Jeanie photographic updates of the quilting as these quilts are decorating her booth, inviting customers in for a closer look. I work at being mindful of her needs… Continue reading Take Me Right Into The “Feather Zone”
