*facepalm*

Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed with myself at the moment. I got so excited with the IDEA that reading the rules fell through the cracks. GAH! https://www.instagram.com/p/BXJLivEhySB/?taken-by=terilucas Let me back up a bit. When Karla announced the 2017 Cherrywood Challenge I sort of lost my mind. First of all Cherrywood. Cherrywood. Second, van Gogh *deep… Continue reading *facepalm*

Dream Fulfilled

One thing I've dreamed of is having a quilt hang in the Sacred Threads Exhibit in Herndon, VA. I haven't done much in the way of serious quilt exploring and making in the last few years so entering this show hasn't even been on my radar.

But ya know what? I love this quilt.       Bruce took a moment to get a photo with me.… Continue reading Lancaster Quilt Show, A recap

QuiltCon

I often forget to take pictures of the people I get to meet. Often thinking that time will allow for picture taking later. Oddly enough it doesn't happen. So that I have these is something of a miracle. Linzi is a blogger (The Quilt Quine) I've been following for years, and a BERNINA Ambassador. Linzi… Continue reading QuiltCon
