After taking a much needed break, I am back and ready to sew. Every year I purchase so many patterns…I always have high expectations of making them all. Needless to say, that doesn’t always work out the way I had intended. So, I start the beginning of each year with the mindset that I will …
It’s Greg’s birthday weekend and we had to start it out with our annual trip to Road to California. Not only do I look forward to seeing some incredibly beautiful quilts, but I get to see a bunch of people that we only see at this show. Greg insisted on parking across the street and …
In a previous post I talked about Garden of Innocence By the Sea and how much I appreciate the work that they do, and I wanted to see how I might be of assistance to their organization. The Channel Island Carvers really came through for making the urns. They went above and beyond anything …
About a month ago my friend Tedi Patterson told me about The Garden of Innocence by the Sea, a non-profit organization that she has worked with in the past. It really got me thinking about what I could do to make a change in the world. This weighed heavy on my heart and I quickly …
Our adventures took us to the high desert this weekend for the Quilter’s Piece Corps, Quilt Guild of Victor Valley Quilt Show in Apple Valley, CA. The Quilter’s Piece Corps began with a small group of quilters in 1983 and has grown to about 150 members today. What a very talented group! The show was …
The weather is still hot, but there’s something about a hayride at the local pumpkin patch that signals the end of summer. We even managed to drag Dad and the dog with us for our visit. It was great to actually see people out and about picking their pumpkins. I know many folks just pick …
We had a full class at Quilty Pleasures in Simi Valley, CA. There is something very gratifying about a traditional quilter being able to let go of all the ‘rules’ that we were taught to follow while creating a quilt. The members of the Conejo Valley Quilt Guild did an exceptional job and I’m always …
For several months now I’ve been looking forward to Ventura Modern Quilt Guild’s class with Violet Craft. The class was a blast and it made the day even better being around so many great people. Violet gave everyone individual instruction related to the pattern that they were working on. She certainly shone brightly as a …
We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Santa Barbara, California at the Coastal Quilters of Santa Barbara/Goleta quilt show. They sponsor a show every other year and I always mark my calendar so that I don’t miss out. I really can’t say enough good things about this show…it’s small, quaint, and in an incredible location. …
I decided to try a recipe for apple fritter cake to treat my Jelly=Roll Rug class students on Saturday…it was a hit! Being able to use the theater costume classroom space at the Calabasas High School was a real privilege…surrounded by so much fun stuff! There was a great group of people and it’s always …
