Okay, I'm totally taking a conversation with the comments to heart and brain and in quilt-teacher fashion addressing the larger group of students as the information is pertinent to all. Where do I begin? How do I decide what motifs to use? How do I choose what weight and color thread? What batting do I… Continue reading Overwhelmed

Road to California
It's been years since I've been to California. The last time I visited the LA area was 2001. Mere weeks before. . . .

I know I'm going to need… Continue reading If you happen to be in Lancaster this week

I feel so blessed to have made it to Houston this week. Because of my sweetie's schedule I ended up at the airport at 5:30 AM and managed to get on the very next flight out of town - the first flight out of Newark since the beginning of the storm. Thinking I would not… Continue reading Quilt Festival

Saturday afternoon I sat down to check email and facebook Angela Walters sat with me to enjoy her bagel and some witty banter. She's quite funny. Angela sat at a table with some very happy quilters the evening before and I told her the truth. As they were taking pictures I very nearly raced over… Continue reading Friends and Teacher Ribbon

I volunteered to help hang the show today, it's hard work and Cathy Wiggins is well organized! 162 Judged quilts, Wearables, and 2 special exhibits were hung while the vendors were bringing all their amazing stuff in! I knew I'd won something, but wasn't sure which quilt, I had 3 in the show. I behaved… Continue reading Tilde
