Each month the Ventura Modern Quilt Guild has a challenge for guild members. Most of the time it’s a block challenge and sometimes we have the choice to make something different. Our challenge for February was to design something inspired by packaging or advertising. I found the coolest box of tissues with a graphic I …
Like we needed another project! But, Greg needed to replace the cushions on his computer chair, after all that time doing homework. He picked the fabric (on sale at Joann) and I made the seat and back cushions for him. They turned out great! I’m also working on a matching bag (you can never have …
The tutorial has been posted for ‘Right of Way’ and I had some energy leftover so I decided to try out the new oven. And what goes better with a new oven that a new recipe. I know it’s kind of late to be eating cake but with the time change I’ll just have to …
March 21 and 22, 2014 I will be teaching two classes at the 35th annual Glendale Quilt Guild. Dresden Garden and Curvaceous Curves are the classes I’m teaching. I’ve belonged to this guild for the past 2 years and I currently serve as the membership chair. My part in the show, other than teaching, is …

My partner and I had the most incredible weekend on the San Diego Shop Hop. We braved the weather and made it to all 14 shops. Each shop gave a 10 inch square of black or white fabric, along with a free pattern. Free patterns and free fabric…I’m in! Not too sure which project will …
Spent the weekend “hopping” around the San Diego area…had a great time and made a LOT of purchases. I’ll post more later…
I almost forgot I added another toy sewing machine to my collection. The machine measures 8 1/2″ long, 5″ wide and 7 1/2″ tall. Also marked Gesch M 1449 Made in Germany British Zone. The Allied powers who defeated Germany in World War II divided the country west of the Oder-Neisse line into four occupation zones …
This past Saturday I had the opportunity to visit the South Bay Quilter Guild 2014 Show in Torrance, California.
