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 …
These pincushions are just too much fun to make. There is something gratifying about starting a project and seeing it through to completion. I came across this Tim Holtz fabric and fell in love with it. The line is Eclectic Elements by Tim Holtz, Correspondence, Air Mail. I’m now thinking that I also need a …

I spent the day making pincushions for the students in my curved geese class I’m teaching tomorrow at SuperBuzzy in Ventura. Just a little tip: you can buy crushed walnut shell for filling pincushions at a pet store…they sell it for lining the bottom of a birdcage. It’s a little cheaper and you can buy …
