Tuesday 2/16 was a great day to be quilt teacher, I spent the day with the Warwick Valley Quilter's Guild. The day started out with some kind of icky weather, however it was warm enough to go. I had to stop to get air in one of the tires, it's always a little disconcerting… Continue reading Warwick Valley Quilters’ Guild

After 20 years she finally has a name
Twenty years is a long time to be nameless. https://www.instagram.com/p/BAXgWIFtvnS/?taken-by=terilucas I brought this gal in December 1995, she's 20. Yep. She's 20. We've done a lot of good work together. This is the gal that I learned so much about quilting on. If she could talk...I'm sure she'd have stories. She's heard more than… Continue reading After 20 years she finally has a name

Doing the (prep) Work, the next part
At some point in my quilting journey I knew that teaching was a next step. How did I know? Well, another quilter asked me one day, "Teri, when are you going to start teaching?" Well, I guess . . soon. It took me a bit, but I figured out that I wanted to teach machine… Continue reading Doing the (prep) Work, the next part

Noise
I heard something the other day. And when I heard it I had to stop. Listen. So in order to listen, a bit more completely, I need to tell a story. I started quilting over 22 years ago. As I started this journey much of the work was to learn to listen and learn. That… Continue reading Noise

The Hudson Valley, rich in history and beauty, feels so much like home, it's always a pleasure to have an excuse to go there. Really I don't… Continue reading Village Fabric Shoppe

Guest Blogger: Sara Snuggerud – Do Sergers Scare You?
I met Sara a couple of years ago at BERNINA University. In between classes Sara shot video and interviewed a variety of VIP's (very interesting people) for her YouTube channel (see links below). What I didn't know, and have high regard for, is her serger prowess. Having learned how to, and taught serger threading I'm in… Continue reading Guest Blogger: Sara Snuggerud – Do Sergers Scare You?

Jeannie it is! We've had some fun stitching this weekend. This is the back. Yes, it is Dupioni Silk. Yes, that is some seriously tiny stitching. On the top I'm using Superior Tiara 50 wt, variegated silk thread. In the bobbin it's Superior Kimono 100 wt silk. I love quilting. I love teaching too, so… Continue reading She has a name!

Go With the Flow
As a quilter I know it's important to listen to the needs of the quilts as I'm working piecing and quilting them. It takes time to learn how to listen and trust that the quilt is giving us good information. Reality is it's learning and informing our brains to know what works and what doesn't,… Continue reading Go With the Flow

Gotta Question for you quilters
In a recent conversation with a friend we both had questions for one another. Most of her questions answered fairly easily. My question of her is something I know the answer to in several ways however I'll be asking for comments later. I'm going to preface the question with a little background for those who are recently… Continue reading Gotta Question for you quilters

A moment of inspiration and a cat
Well I'm going with the cat first. This is Frank. One of Jake's cats. She has five that will let a perfect stranger pet their bellies. Frank and I have a very special bond. The first evening at Jake's Frank decided that I looked very comfy indeed and sat himself on my chest between my… Continue reading A moment of inspiration and a cat
