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

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

It was easy to handle and leaves the fabrics with a lot of flexibility. There's enough body that marking the diamonds and circles will be easier than if I was just… Continue reading Staten Island Sunset progress finally

Until last Friday our house had the original windows installed when the house was built in the late 60's. They were aluminum sliders and each window had 4 panes, 2 for the warmer months and 2 to be added for the cooler months. While they lost heat amazingly well they were great in the summer… Continue reading A new view
