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 …
Farm to Fork by Lily Gonzalez I saw this fabric on the shop hop last weekend. I’m loving it! I’m really not too sure what I would do with it, but, it’s so cute. Love the eggs and the bacon print too. Maybe it’s time to make an apron. I will have to put this …
I had to take a few days off from sewing. The bathroom remodel started Monday. I simply wanted to replace the vanity. Sounds simple enough right? Well, that turned into moving the existing plumbing, adding another electrical outlet, a couple(several) holes in the drywall and a broken mirror. I know you’re probably thinking why didn’t …

Each of the participating shops gave out a free fat quarter (floral themed) and a pattern from each of the shops. Fabric designer, …

This is my pal, Macy, AKA Larry. I acquired Macy when she was just 3 weeks old. I was volunteering with the local shelter and they called me with 3 kittens that needed to be 2 lbs. before they could be placed for adoption. Macy and her 2 brothers ate real well for two weeks …
Okay, so last Thursday I was looking around the room at the piles of fabric…they seem to be growing. I’m sure I’m not adding more fabric to what is already an out of control problem. Back to the pile, it’s apparent that some cleaning/organization needs to take place. I started with the scraps and separated …
My friend, Frances Newcombe, has just released her new line of fabric for Art Gallery Fabrics. Frances is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Her talents have no boundaries. She is a full time graphic designer, a mother, a wife and an incredible fabric designer. I’m not too sure where she finds …
