Eight years ago I was actively working on this quilt, Twilight in the Bronx. While having dinner with my sisters, sweetie and a very good friend my sisters gave me the batik fabric (where the applique's come from) and three spools of thread, which I used in the star. It was right after this… Continue reading Oh sweet memories

it all started when
my sweetie put the a/c in the window this morning. The last few days the desire to quilt several things has been held at bay while waiting for the a/c or the temperatures to cool down.

Quilterly Writers Block
I'm a quilter. And by that I love to free motion machine quilt. On and off I've had to work through the equivalent of writers block. I just. couldn't. quilt. Those moments were tough but often led to something that would pleasantly surprise me. Whew. Would it surprise you that, while I've been quilting on… Continue reading Quilterly Writers Block

I’ve gone and done it now
I've added a Retreat to the list of classes. I've wanted to add a retreat for a very long time, now seemed as good a time as any.
