For my birthday this year, Greg treated me to a wonderful weekend away. On Friday morning, we headed toward Northern California and before we knew it we were in Santa Clara. I’ve heard all sorts of stories about how incredible the Pacific International Quilt Festival and I looked forward to seeing the show for myself. …
Fall is in the air, so it must be quilt show season…it seems like there is a bunch of inspiration every weekend, this time of year! This past weekend, we scooped up our friend Nancy and drove to the Pasadena Convention Center for the Glendale Quilt Guild quilt show, Ripple Effect. There was a Guild …
It’s that time of year again when there are plenty of quilting events. I was very pleased to be involved with the Vintage to Vanguard show in Camarillo, CA. The show was held on the Channel Islands University campus. Many of the buildings belonged to Camarillo State Hospital, which is said to be haunted. While …
We were looking for a little adventure this weekend and decided to go to Venice, and walk along Abbot Kinney Boulevard. So much fun, but it DID make us both feel old…extremely young and hip. Great boutique shops, lots of wall art, and some of the best ice cream we’ve ever eaten, from Salt & …
The heat and humidity has been terrible, lately. So, Greg and I decided to spend the weekend in the mountains at Big Bear Lake…the perfect place for a quilt show. We had a great time…lots of inspiration and incredible weather!

This was a smaller, well-put-together show, and everybody we encountered was very friendly. I was able to locate the …
I just finished the binding on my Glam Clam quilt. I was able to take a class with Latifah Saafir earlier this summer, and I’m very pleased with the outcome. She was a great teacher and I love her method of sewing all these curves.
One of the best things about belonging to a quilt guild is the speakers that we get a chance to see and maybe even take a workshop from. Last Saturday, Jen Carlton Bailly (aka, bettycrockerass) taught a workshop thanks to Ventura Modern Quilt Guild. We also got the opportunity to see the trunk show on …
Last weekend, I had the opportunity to see a friend’s art exhibited at a gallery in downtown Los Angeles. Our adventure took us to Chinatown and Olvera Street… it had been a few years since we had been in the area, and it was fun to be out on such a beautiful day. In The …
So heres the deal…I had a small stack of green Kona fabrics that I challenged myself to use. These scraps were from a recent project and I hate to throw those little pieces of fabric away. Then, I tried to justify starting a new project, rather than picking up an unfinished project and working on it. …
