Some days you just feel like you could use a little ‘pick me up’ and today was one of those days for me. I knew exactly what I needed…a trip to the fabric store. After all cotton is my drug of choice. I immediately found fabrics that were dying for a new home. They all …
I posted earlier that when a teach a class I make my students a pincushion as a gift. I usually try to keep the theme of the pincushion related to the class. Sometimes this is easier said than done. These are the pincushions for Dresden Garden class I will be teaching at the Glendale Quilt …
Each month the Ventura Modern Quilt Guild has a challenge for guild members. Most of the time it’s a block challenge and sometimes we have the choice to make something different. Our challenge for February was to design something inspired by packaging or advertising. I found the coolest box of tissues with a graphic I …
Like we needed another project! But, Greg needed to replace the cushions on his computer chair, after all that time doing homework. He picked the fabric (on sale at Joann) and I made the seat and back cushions for him. They turned out great! I’m also working on a matching bag (you can never have …
The tutorial has been posted for ‘Right of Way’ and I had some energy leftover so I decided to try out the new oven. And what goes better with a new oven that a new recipe. I know it’s kind of late to be eating cake but with the time change I’ll just have to …
March 21 and 22, 2014 I will be teaching two classes at the 35th annual Glendale Quilt Guild. Dresden Garden and Curvaceous Curves are the classes I’m teaching. I’ve belonged to this guild for the past 2 years and I currently serve as the membership chair. My part in the show, other than teaching, is …
March has already been a busy month. As vice president of the Ventura Modern Quilt Guild it is my responsibility to come up with our monthly block challenges. I got out the graph paper and started playing. The block for March, no name as of yet, makes a 18 inch block and you can imagine …
Monday has to be my least favorite day of the week. I’m thinking I’ll start the week out right with a new project. Smaller in scale so it will be more do-able. I’ve always liked the look of an “apple core” quilt…just not the one that Grandma made. All the curved piecing makes it a …
My partner and I had the most incredible weekend on the San Diego Shop Hop. We braved the weather and made it to all 14 shops. Each shop gave a 10 inch square of black or white fabric, along with a free pattern. Free patterns and free fabric…I’m in! Not too sure which project will …
Spent the weekend “hopping” around the San Diego area…had a great time and made a LOT of purchases. I’ll post more later…
