The intervening months have been full writing, quilting, and sales related road trips all over New York state & New Jersey covering my territory. I have a… Continue reading Quilted Block of the Month

Quilted Block of the Month Part 3
"How do you get from here to there?" she asked. I promised to show her. When stitching on a pieced block, the ditch is your bestie. The ribbon candy ended at the peak, to start the next wedge there are two options: stop, tie off the thread, then restart in the next wedge. A viable… Continue reading Quilted Block of the Month Part 3

Enjoying and Thankful
Starting with gratitude this morning. I'm grateful for batiks. (If you follow me on Instagram this, and all the photos in this post, may look familiar.) These one and a half inch strips are being stitched to orange and purple solid to create 9 patches, that may be set on point, though I'm not quite… Continue reading Enjoying and Thankful

Village Fabric Shoppe
On a chilly Saturday morning I packed quilts, Jeannie (B 790) and myself into the car and headed off to the Village Fabric Shop in Red Hook, NY. 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

I am so happy with the Showstopper Purple and the Pistachio. Once things are more settled I'll get some pics. There is something about autumn, the… Continue reading Something about Autumn

there was some quilting happening here
Valori Wells gave me this fabric line at Fall Market in Houston. I've finally made something. I like making things, useful things. This included lovely matching corners, stitch-in-the-ditch with the dual feed and the 97 D foot. Once I understood where to look and how to use it well, my patchwork improved greatly. I never… Continue reading there was some quilting happening here

Magical Moments
From Seth Godin Today is Pi day, the 14th day of the 3rd month of the fifteenth year... 3.1415 Pi is our most famous irrational number. Not irrational in the sense that it's a foolish argument, a form of wishing for one thing while doing another. No, pi is irrational in a magical, beautiful sense. It… Continue reading Magical Moments
