UPDATE: The Random Number Generator selected #52 - Alison in Alabama! Congratulations! I'll be in contact in the next few days. It's been a while since I've participated in a blog tour on TerifiCreations, as I write most of the Generation Q Magazine book tours. This one is kind of special because a friend, John Kubiniec,… Continue reading A New Spin on Drunkards Path by John Kubiniec
Morning All! Olde City Quilts is hosting the President of BERNINA HP Ueltschi celebrating the arrival of the BERNINA long arm at the shop. Ambassadors Linda Hahn, Lisa Calle and myself will be there. I am smitten with this thread from Weeks Dye Works and will be getting more soon. See that small spool? It's… Continue reading off to Olde City Quilts for the day
Just 11 days ago I taught Let Your Foot Loose, be Fancy & Free at the City Quilter. It was a good day. The bonus was having Maria O. as a student. Maria is a fab quilter and teacher in her own right (she teaches at the City Quilter). Maria posted this photo on fb… Continue reading Swoon and Whole Cloth Challenge Update
There is nothing quite so comforting as listening to the sewing machine as I quilt. It's a beautiful sound. As I look at this update and think about the comments on facebook and think about another project I'm working on (I think a lot!). So the question I get a lot is, "what comes next?"… Continue reading Whole Cloth Update
I think. A lot. Sometimes I over think things. Sigh. It happens. I over think quilts All.The.Time. I'm okay with that. I've been thinking about this whole cloth challenge, you know the one with Lisa Calle. So now I have a title and a design idea: Intertwined. I've been thinking about how we're all connected… Continue reading Whole Cloth Challenge Update

I'd love to see what you're doing and would love to post pictures. Debby has been posting about her… Continue reading Whole Cloth Challenge & BERNINA University
This morning I read Terry Grant's post One of my greatest achievements is not being perfect with great interest. I nodded in agreement as she talked of choosing just the right color of paint for a room based on a swatch of fabric, finally settling for "close enough". Rather than stressing out over the color… Continue reading Whole Cloth Challenge update
Seriously I just wanted to post this picture again it just makes me happy. I realized too there is a color missing here. I have 3 yards of sky (baby) blue too. I don't know how I missed that. The other day when I posted this I was choosing between the copper and the purple,… Continue reading Whole cloth challenge and choosing fabric
Lisa and I are challenging each other to create whole cloth quilts (my original post)before Quilt Market. We're both using Robert Kaufman's Radiance, a cotton/silk blend. Anyone joining in on the fun can use their favorite fabric. If you need, or perhaps just want some Radiance for the challenge Olde City Quilts has a great… Continue reading Whole Cloth Challenge
About a year ago I had the privilege of interviewing Lisa Calle. (I have to tell you there is a cupcake place near her that I MUST go back to!) She's a delight in person and I love spending time with her. Lisa is a brand new BERNINA Ambassador, welcome to the family! She's posting… Continue reading Whole Cloth Challenge
