I picked up this little poster probably 25 years ago when I lived in Americus, GA working at Habitat for Humanity through the church I belonged to at the time. I put a push pin through the plastic to pin it to the door. It was my motto for the year. I've been tidying up and… Continue reading Peek a boo

If you happen to be in Lancaster this week
And you see this quilt hanging will you be nearly as excited as me? Probably not. The only thing better would be to have Keith there. My friends and I are driving in Friday and staying until after the show on Saturday so I can bring the quilt home. I know I'm going to need… Continue reading If you happen to be in Lancaster this week

Thinking, thinking and I would like your input, please
Whenever I hear, "thinking, thinking" the voice in my head sounds like Elfred in my GPS. Elfred is from the north pole and sometimes asks if anyone wants hot chocolate or fruitcake. My answer to both is, "yes!" I've been teaching machine quilting on a domestic for about 4 1/2 to 5 years now. I… Continue reading Thinking, thinking and I would like your input, please

Don’t think “strange” think epic!
As a quilting instructor/pro quilter/award winner it's hard sometimes to complain about the process of a quilt in progress. I have guild members and friends but the blog, the blog takes a different tone. Everything goes all Miss Merry Sunshine when it sometimes it feels all Little Shop of Horrors. And this is one… Continue reading Don’t think “strange” think epic!

More of Richmond Town
I like touring Historic places. There are a few places that I would go back and visit including Connor Prairie in Indiana, Colonial Williamsburg, and Old Sturbridge Village. Each historic site has their own way of presenting the history of their particular area either interacting with the characters of the time period or the docents… Continue reading More of Richmond Town

Day Trippin’ in the City
We've lived in and around the City since shortly after we got married. We've been to Staten Island a few times over the years but never to learn more about the history of Staten Island. Today we visited this far off Borough of the City. Our original goal was visiting Historic Richmond Town. Tours were… Continue reading Day Trippin’ in the City

I mentioned it here on my schedule. Before I share more about the class I started what I hope to be the… Continue reading New Class

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”
