Recently, I attended the Glendale Quilt Guild’s monthly meeting. Their speaker was Mike McNamara, He is a California resident living in the Bay area. Mike gave a terrific presentation and showed us so many quilts. The stories about each of the quilts kept us in stitches. I volunteered to help hold up quilts as he …
In February, I started a block of the month (BOM) called Fancy Forest with the Quilt Emporium in Woodland Hills. I’m not really sure why I keep adding more to my plate, but this BOM is so cute. The directions are very well written and I’ve finished my first four owls…March is bunny time. It is a …
Honestly, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of this show…definitely one of the best quilt shows I’ve ever been to! I volunteered at the California MQG membership booth all four days, enjoyed the show with Greg and our friend Nancy King on Saturday, and went back with Greg on Sunday…there was just so much to see …
My friend Nancy King gave me this cute little bag she made. It’s perfect to keep my binding supplies in and each time I look at it makes me smile. I would much rather receive a gift that someone has made rather than one that has been purchased. It is so easy to get caught …
I spent the day, with Greg Palmer and Nancy King, at Road to California. Wow, the show was incredible and we had such a great time. There were so many inspiring quilts that I couldn’t wait to come home and play with some fabric. Why am I on the computer?
I really do take it for granted that I live in an incredible city. We’re always on the lookout for new and different things to do in our free time. Recently, I was headed into downtown LA to submit my quilt for Quiltcon West. As I was driving there, I come upon an architectural salvage business. …
It has been refreshing just sitting down and sewing a block each day. Not overthinking the end result…not spending time deciding color placement…not worrying about the overall composition of the block. Just sew the block and be done with it! I enjoyed seeing all the different blocks that everyone is creating for this challenge. You …
I am well aware of how full my plate is and yet I keep adding more. I ran across this on Facebook and it really caught my eye. A block a day doesn’t seem like too much, right? Since It started a few days late into the challenge, I had some catching up to do. …
I’ve been using Inktense by Derwent colored pencils for several years now. Many years back I had tried the crayon method on fabric and I found that it faded and didn’t get the look that I had desired. The Inktense pencils are easy to use and give a great result no matter what your level …
I’ve been a little overwhelmed this past 2 weeks with all that life places upon us. Now I’m doing my best to get caught up with everything I’ve been putting off. Our next monthly challenge with Valley Modern Quilt Guild is to create a project with the ‘fire’ theme. It can be a block or …
