Desire

Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to outline 2 classes, make a power point presentation and get ready for my first (and hopefully not only) teaching gig at BERNINA University.

a good day quilting

The last couple of days I've been piecing and quilting like a quilter.  Crazy I know. It's been fun. I'm loving my B 780 more than ever. In part because I had a total ditzy moment today while piecing the quilt top. I put the #46 C foot on to make some piping for this… Continue reading a good day quilting

One week ago today

I spent the day with some beautiful quilty friends on a road trip to Lancaster. We left the quilt show and headed to a fab restaurant that brews its own beer, features local cheese, and bakes its own desserts. Can we just say delightful food?

St. Augustine & Jacksonville

As I mentioned yesterday my Sweetie and I took a mini-vacation flying into Jacksonville Tuesday.  We spent a little time exploring the area.  My sweetie looked for and found a quilt shop or two but I limited it to one shop in St. Augustine and one shop on the way to Americus.  It's hard to… Continue reading St. Augustine & Jacksonville
