QuiltCon
I often forget to take pictures of the people I get to meet. Often thinking that time will allow for picture taking later. Oddly enough it doesn't happen. So that I have these is something of a miracle. Linzi is a blogger (The Quilt Quine) I've been following for years, and a BERNINA Ambassador. Linzi… Continue reading QuiltCon

Puddle Jumping
Every now and again in front of my machine I sit and stitch. That's it. There's no plan or purpose other than reconnecting with the machine and the rhythm of stitching. The stitching leads to thinking, that's sometimes a good thing, and sometimes not so much. Either way the level of enjoyment is increased with… Continue reading Puddle Jumping

An invitation
Teaching free motion machine quilting is one of the greatest pleasures in my life. When a quilter relaxes into quilting, the breathing changes, the focus changes, the rest of the group fades from the room.
