I ran across this fabric and it jumped off the shelf into my cart…no really! The more I look at it, the more I like it. I’m thinking it kind of lends itself to a masculine feel…not that I can pull that off, but I try. I thought about what to make for awhile and …
Each year the Ventura Modern Quilt Guild has a challenge block for the county fair. The Fair’s theme this year is ‘A Country Fair With Ocean Air’….don’t laugh…last year it was ‘Boots, Barns and banjos.’ Our challenge is to create a block in the modern aesthetic which reflects the theme. Hmmm, this took some thinking. …
There is so much going on right now I really don’t know where to start. This last Sunday was the final day to turn in entries for the Fair. So I gathered up a couple of tote bags of my latest projects and took them down to the fairgrounds. The category guide has always confused …
I thought I would stop some shops today and pick up their pattern for Row by Row. I can’t wait to see the patterns.

Happy National Quilt in Public Day! We spent the afternoon with the Ventura Modern Quilt Guild sewing in the sun. We all had such a great time and visited with quite a few people who were interested in what we were doing…maybe we’ll get a couple of new members… Thanks to everyone …
Living in Los Angeles has many perks. We constantly have shows and exhibits I always plan on seeing. Then life gets in the way and before I know it the show has closed or the exhibit has moved on. This last weekend I put my words into action and visited The California Science Center. With …
Aside from cotton, one of my other guilty pleasures is peanut butter. These are incredible…bet you can’t eat just one. Reeses Peanut Butter No-Bake Bars Ingredients 1 cup salted butter (melted) 2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1 cup peanut butter 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 (11 oz) …
This month’s challenge with the Ventura Modern Quilt Guild is a red, white and blue challenge. Since I love English Paper Piecing I thought it would be fun to make a mini for this challenge.
