This last weekend while on our way home from Cambria, California, we stopped by the Coastal Quilters Quilt Show. It was a smaller local show that did a wonderful job of illustrating the different styles of quilting. There was some incredible work at this show! They had around 30 venders as well as a guild …
I’ve been working on my ‘Hexy’ project this week. It is slowly growing and there is no end in sight. I sure do love my Fiskars hexagon paper punch….I can’t even imagine how much I would have spent so far on all those hexagons. I plan on trying to baste more hexies in car on …
People often ask me if I do only quilting or if I’m into any other crafts? All I have to say is, “my creative juices kind of go with the flow”. I can be working on a quilting project in the morning and by nighttime I’ve got a needlepoint project on my lap. I constantly see things on …

It has been too long since I’ve posted. I know, shame on me. I’m getting back on the horse and there’s many exciting projects and a couple of fun trips in the near future. In the meantime lets celebrate National Sewing month. I of course will celebrate it by purchasing some fabric and starting yet …

These children have been displaced from their homes due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We had a …
This last weekend we journeyed down to the LA Garment District looking for some specific fabric. Well, the joke is right there…specific. We parked on the third floor of the parking structure and paid the $12.00 fee. The parking structure was total chaos…valet parking and they are not responsible for anything. Once I realized I …
I spent the weekend completing some of those unfinished projects. There needs to be more hours in a day! Some people hate binding a quilt and I really don’t mind it. I don’t use those expensive/fancy little clips, I use hair barrettes from the Dollar store. Therefore, when a cat steals one it’s no big …
Another fun Saturday adventure. Nancy King, awesome quilter/artist and friend joined us on our weekend adventure. I only came home from the show with a couple yards of fabric but I had such a great time. There’s nothing better than friends and fabric. The first Los Angeles Quilt Show was hosted at Crafted in the …
Today, I was looking forward to some sewing. I pulled out my fabric and my first cut with the rotary cutter, I noticed it was time to change the blade. “Hmm, where are the blades?” As I was searching for the blades, I knocked the ruler off the cutting table, did a little 2-step, and …
