Connecting While perusing social media Debby Brown posted this link for ways to connect with one another while we are refraining from in-person contact. I knew about one of the ways for personal contact, the other two were new to me. The Quilt Show is having a membership sale right now. I rejoined last night… Continue reading Connecting & Freeing Up

Embracing Quirkiness & Connections Quilt Festival
and a Reality Check One of the reminders from my time at the Dutchess Heritage Quilt Show is that I'm quirky. Shocking! I love being quirky. Embrace quirk, let go of seriousness. Seriously. So, this weekend during the lecture "Surprise I'm a Free Motion Quilter" the end of the lecture came, as I made decisions… Continue reading Embracing Quirkiness & Connections Quilt Festival
Shine Your Light
Shine Your Light, one of the quilts in the "Live Your Brightest Life, A Tribute to Yvonne Porcella hosted by Pokey Bolton" arrived home last night, rolled up, in plastic (to keep it dry in case!), and in just the perfect box with the info sheet with it. Thank you Pokey, and Thank you Yvonne.… Continue reading Shine Your Light

Dream Fulfilled
One thing I've dreamed of is having a quilt hang in the Sacred Threads Exhibit in Herndon, VA. I haven't done much in the way of serious quilt exploring and making in the last few years so entering this show hasn't even been on my radar. There's this whole thing about eating and a roof… Continue reading Dream Fulfilled
Living Well

Tracy Mooney and I launched the very first Generation Q Magazine Happy Hour live on facebook. This was… Continue reading Living Well
Lighting a Candle
In the current issue of Generation Q Magazine there's an article on the care and feeding of your sewing machine. I have to admit to getting a little excited sharing this information with people. A little care for our machines goes a really long way. So this evening when my machine started misbehaving I… Continue reading Lighting a Candle
In the Quilt-iverse
So last night shortly after arriving home I learned of the passing of Yvonne Porcella, quilter, founder of SAQA, and great joy in the quilting world. The Quilt Show has her TQS Legend show available for viewing and Luana Rubin has a delightful interview with her on the equilter youtube channel. In her honor I'm… Continue reading In the Quilt-iverse
