You might remember, or not, that I spent most of my growing up years in Maine where we have a local caffeinated, carbonated beverage. You might be surprised to learn that I have never had this particular non-adult beverage that I in anyway recall. Then there's the totally awesome definition of Moxie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWoHiCvC26Y From chatting… Continue reading Some News!

Dreaming as Creativity
My Sweetie asked me a question, "when are you going to open your own quilt shop?" I'm not. But this got me to dreaming. Dreaming is good, it leads us to innovation, solutions, realizations. Having worked in a couple of quilt shops, traveled to so many over the years, attending Quilt Market, and all I've… Continue reading Dreaming as Creativity

Moving, a Journey
I've started walking around the hotel parking lot while listening to Pokey Bolton's Instagram conversations with quilting peeps. Hotel parking lot you say? Why yes. The physical move from NY to TX is about 1/2 complete. We arrived in Texas on Thursday evening after four days on the road. While at one hotel I'd made… Continue reading Moving, a Journey

So, this weekend during the lecture "Surprise I'm a Free Motion Quilter" the end of the lecture came, as I made decisions… Continue reading Embracing Quirkiness & Connections Quilt Festival

Ribbon Candy
Kathy of Quirks Ltd messaged to remind me that Ribbon Candy is on my list of follow-ups with the July Block of the Month. I could draw it out. My friend, Debby Brown is one heck of a machine quilter, and quilting teacher. She has great vids on YouTube. Check out her ribbon candy on… Continue reading Ribbon Candy

a moment of sharing
So this happened a Sizzix Big Shot Pro. It's waiting for me to cut big hexies for a project, which is part of some magazine work that needs to happen. But first there are Ads to sell, and copy to write (I'm transcribing an interview of a quilter) for the Fall Issue of said magazine.… Continue reading a moment of sharing

Dream Fulfilled

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. There's this whole thing about eating and a roof… Continue reading Dream Fulfilled
