Yesterdays class was a lot of fun. All the students quickly picked up on the techniques that I was teaching. I always enjoy seeing the different fabric choices people make.

I finished the second class sample this last Sunday. I even remembered to take it to Ventura Modern Quilt Guild on Monday for show n tell. Seeing it float around in the back of my Mini Cooper all week reminded me that I still needed to take a picture of it and get it up …
During the Olympics I found myself studying the banners. I love all the color and the use of diamonds instead of a traditional square really got me hooked. So I open up the sketch pad and start drawing. Once the cover to the sketch pad closed that project got put on a back burner. A …
Today I drove to Ventura and picked up Mom and we headed over to the fairgrounds for a local quilt show. We had a wonderful time, saw some beautiful quilts and got in some shopping also. My mother is the person who introduced me to quilting and I can’t thank her enough for being such …
