Getting ready to start a couple of projects
I started Staten Island Sunset at MQX and need to do a bit of frogging before I continue. In the mean time I have another idea that may or may not be part of the "City" series of quilts or I have another idea rambling around in my head. With all of the wrought iron/metal… Continue reading Getting ready to start a couple of projects

An Interview with Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero
Knowing that I wouldn't be quilting for a while post surgery I interviewed 2 fab quilters and will have a guest blog. My first quilter is Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero of Kaleidoscope Collections. I met Jeanie in the green room while we were both in OH to tape for Quilting Arts TV. Shortly after our… Continue reading An Interview with Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero

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”

Hand dyes
Last week Ally came into the shop to get fabric for a new project she's working on. Ally took machine quilting classes from me at the quilt cottage several years ago. If memory serves Ally took the beginner machine quilting then moved right into the advanced class as she was going back to work right… Continue reading Hand dyes

Creative Sewing Center & Frixion Pens
I can't say it enough, I love teaching machine quilting. The irony of that statement is that early on I used to say, "if its not hand quilted it's not a quilt". Yep, I'm one who said that to people. Then I had the eye opening experience of going to a quilt show… Continue reading Creative Sewing Center & Frixion Pens

Kaleidoscope quilt
I love it when Jeanie sends me a new piece to quilt. My mind starts reeling with endless possibilities of "what if" in such a good way that. Many of the quilts call for a little glitz using Superior Metallic threads. This one didn't. This is from the Kaleidoscope Blossoms Template pack. You can read… Continue reading Kaleidoscope quilt

Wrought Iron quilting inspriation
Last week my sweetie and I took the week off for our anniversary. I love spending time with him. Taking day trips from home means we get to sleep in our own bed. Nothing better than that I say. Well perhaps the enjoyment of coming home to our own bed after a week or so… Continue reading Wrought Iron quilting inspriation

Hydrangea
Several weeks ago my sweetie & I went to a local garden center for gazanias. He happened upon them on year and we've loved them ever since. Gazanias are heliotropes so the full sun in the front of our home is perfect. I love the bright warm colors and they're much hardier than the pansies… Continue reading Hydrangea

Kaleidoscope Adventure
In April I had the opportunity to chat with Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero at the AQS Show in Lancaster. I saw this unfinished quilt and asked if I could take it home and quilt it. I'm having a lot of fun working on this delightful runner/wall hanging quilt. I'm always amazed with what can be done with… Continue reading Kaleidoscope Adventure
