At the July 4th party this year, I was asked to make a quilt for an upcoming auction hosted by Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza…I agreed. Wouldn’t you know…out of sight, out of mind. I didn’t think about it much until the deadline was drawing near. I really wanted to design something that could appeal …
It seems that this time of year there is always a quilt show on the weekend to go to. A friend gave me two tickets to a show I had never heard of. The show was in Yucaipa, put on by the Citrus Belt Quilters Guild…about an hour and a half or so from Los Angeles (maybe …
Last year we went to see Rise of the Jack O’Lanterns at Descanso Gardens and we had the best time ever. So this year when I heard it was going to be at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, I thought “wow I’ve got to go to this”. The weather was beautiful and we had …
I tried to think of an excuse not to drive all the way to Palm Springs. The thought of a quilt show and vendor merchandise was just too much for me to handle. We went last year and had an amazing time and saw so many beautiful quilts. I was a little apprehensive, hoping the …
I’m still trying to get caught up from this last weekend. I had a wonderful weekend and I just wish the weather was cooler. We arrived at the Glendale Quilt Guilds boutique a little after it opened. So many people were already there and my shopping skills sprung into action. The boutique was HUGE and …

The Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild just celebrated their 6th anniversary. What came out of an online group of people, turned into the formation of the LA Modern Quilt Guild. And now, 6 years later, that guild has grown by leaps and bounds. Latifah Saafir and Alissa Haight Carlton are two of the founding members and both …
About a year ago, I started talking to a couple of friends about creating a new guild that would serve our local community, and promote Modern Quilting and those who admire the work. In June we started our planning meetings with a great number of others also interested in a modern guild. I had no …
As I have mentioned, it has been a little on the warm side here in California. Giving up the comfort of AC and climbing into a hot car was a difficult decision. We headed out to Thousand Oaks, CA for The Conejo Valley Quilter’s 2015 show. The show was very nice and well put together. …
