As you read this it is the very last day of Quilt Market. The camera lens, for the most part, has remained covered as I've walked the aisles. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bat3jraDGqd/?taken-by=debbybrownquilts Debby and I arrived at our hotel within moments of each other. This after she arrived at my house just before 4 AM, whereupon my Sweetie… Continue reading So Quilt Market

Did you hear about that time
I started singing this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6UAYGxiRwU Singing isn't in my skillset, and while I tend to sing with reckless abandon here at home, when I'm in public, lip syncing is great, and it makes it look like I know the words. Over the last few weeks I've been working on two quilts that will hang in… Continue reading Did you hear about that time

Embracing Quirk, and a new class
Happy Tuesday! Last spring I asked a trusted friend what her impressions were: confidence was the number one take away from that conversation. Honestly, I like that she picked up on that. It's taken a lot of time to become confident at the machine, moving the quilt under the needle and watching the quilting motifs… Continue reading Embracing Quirk, and a new class

Wow! Wow! Wow!
While Shadowing one of the Floriani Educators last week my brain went into high gear. She could see it as I sat in the back of the room listening to Sarabeth. I'm not using her real name because she isn't a huge fan of social media, and I'm respecting that. Sarabeth presented each one of… Continue reading Wow! Wow! Wow!

I like to move it move it
BethAnn arrived home Saturday afternoon, she's a BERNINA 560 E. Yes dear friends E, for embroidery. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYRRQZ1h_rb/?taken-by=terilucas Perhaps a name correction: BethAnne! Get it, with an E. Please feel free to roll your eyes and groan, that's what I'm doing. Over the weekend I've done a bit of quilting, a bit of piecing, and this… Continue reading I like to move it move it

well, then there was the trip to Oak Ridge
But really I went to Knoxville. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM Every once in a while, when I take a trip there is added adventure. Mysteriously my room was not available when I arrived at my hotel very late on Eclipse day. Knoxville was in the path of totality so many people added to the local economy staying in… Continue reading well, then there was the trip to Oak Ridge

Sunday Social
Tomorrow evening I leave for Knoxville for training on Floriani Total Control U and Floriani Quilting software. In the meantime I have a version to start exploring. I created a monster that I'm now (for today) using as my profile picture on facebook. Then there is this. Even when life has been a bit challenging… Continue reading Sunday Social

Fabulous Friday
Well. This is a bit of a surprise. And it is totally fab-u-lous. Over the last ten months I've been searching for a day job. I've had a few interviews that led to continued looking. Looking is good. Interviewing is a bit challenging. It's weird, I can talk quilts all day long and not get… Continue reading Fabulous Friday

And then it went WOOSH!
There's a great saying, "A high tide raises all ships". You're the ship, and I'm the tide. Encouraging, and supporting quilters in their endeavors, and watching them succeed is joyful. In February Tracy Mooney and Cheryl Sleboda spoke at VDTA on Cosplay. Having attended talks, given talks, it's rare that a room is silent, and… Continue reading And then it went WOOSH!

New Stuff
So, ya know, after a while the stuff in our sewing room, that we use for making quilts needs to be replaced. At Fall Quilt Market I sat down with Alex Anderson to see her new line of rulers and cutting mats. I knew that as soon as possible my long term mats would be… Continue reading New Stuff
