Ventura Modern Quilt Guild and Valley Modern Quilt Guild hold monthly challenges for the guild members that are a fun way to get everyone involved. I enjoy seeing and hearing about other peoples creative process, and I love seeing their finished product. Coming up is a pincushion challenge/swap and I usually wait til the last …
Everybody knows that paper piecing isn’t one of my favorite things. That being said, I do appreciate the precision that paper piecing offers. I ran across this pattern on a Pinterest marathon and it really caught my eye. The original was a ruby in various shades of red. Going through my stash I realized that …
If you’re like me, you save every scrap of fabric and strip of leftover batting. Recently I cleaned Johnnie’s room (my long-arm), and came up with a mountain of batting scraps. Most of the scraps are pretty good size and I can’t toss them. Well, I’ve found the perfect way to use up all that …

January 29, 2018, was a bittersweet night for me. After 29 months, my presidency of the Valley Modern Quilt Guild came to an end. It has been an incredible learning experience for me, as well as many of the other board members. I will now have more time to dedicate to the things that I’d …
It’s become a tradition for Greg, our friend Nancy, and I to go to Road to California Quilt Show in Ontario, CA each year. This year, Ventura Modern Quilt Guild had a booth at the show to help us gather donations for the Thomas Fire Relief Quilts we’ve been working on. But, I wasn’t going …
We are so grateful that the skies have begun to clear in Ventura. Our hearts remain with our neighbors and everybody impacted by the fires in Southern California. The past week has been a painful and humbling week for many of us. Helplessly watching and waiting as the fire claims more ground. We are introducing …
Last Saturday night we ventured out locally and went to the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild Show. It is an annual event and that keeps getting bigger and better. There is so much talent in the LA Modern Guild. All these beautiful quilts were put up for a one evening show…and what an evening it …
