One of the quilt guilds that I belong to is having a UFO (unfinished object) challenge. This has inspired me to getting a few pieces finished. I’ve actually committed myself to finishing 10 of my UFO’s. Here’s proof that I do make a few things that are not modern. I really like the curved log …
We attended Sandra Johnson’s Shibori and Indigo Dyeing class today and it was amazing. We had the privilege of using the culinary arts classroom at Calabasas High School for our workshop. The fabric enthusiasts quickly got underway with different patterns and endless possibilities. Give me some space and the ability to make a mess and …
A break in the current storms made for the most beautiful Southern California day. Mother nature has given us a nourishing drink of water and the sun is out. It’s a great day for a quilt show and off to Road to California we go. There were some outstanding quilts at the show and its …
Today was the opening reception for a new modern quilt exhibit at the Ontario Museum of History and Art called Modern Quilts: Redesigning Traditions. Greg and I both participated in this exhibit in different ways…Greg designed the logo for the exhibit, and I entered 3 different quilts. The theme was modern quilting inspired by traditional block …

It was a great day and we had the perfect classroom with plenty of space. Thank you to SFVQA and it’s members for inviting me to do this workshop …

We weren’t sure that we would take advantage of ALL the exhibits the museum had to offer, but we went ahead and joined. What a great decision! We enjoyed our third trip in as many months. The Spider Pavilion was filled with many species of …
It’s dangerous to stay up late and shop on the internet. I came across this pattern and I thought it was very cute and I’m sure my Mother will love it. The directions are well written and its quickly coming together. I decided to make it with all reds from my stash. Spool Sampler Cotton …
Our weekend adventure took us back to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. The last time we were here I got talked into purchasing a dual membership to the museum. It all sounded good and we would like to go more often and it just seemed like the right thing to do…SOLD! Flash forward …
With Southern California’s Fall weather a little warmer than usual, we thought, “Why not head to Palm Springs for a quilt show.” Who says no to a quilt show…right? It was our third year to attend Quiltfest Oasis Palm Springs, and the two hour drive was worth it. So many beautiful quilts from all around the …
I know it’s Fall, but the weather here in Southern California sure tells me a different story. I’ve ended up making more Halloween decor every passing year, and most of it gets given away…Yes, Mom, I know that you want this table runner. I HAVE kept a few things for myself…rarely. This fabric is so …
