While the Quilter is away

That’s right…I’m gone. I have gone to Monterey. I have come on a girls trip, my mom, 2 sisters and I are here for the weekend. A time for shopping, card games, relaxing, ocean time and laughter.

Business Meetings

But let me go back to the first meeting. My take away from that was to Dr use ifContinue reading “Business Meetings”

Studio

Some new happenings are going on in my studio. While I won’t ever get an award for the cleanest and most organized places of work (like this one) But things are in the works to make it a little easier to keep on top of it all. It all started a couple weeks ago whenContinue reading “Studio”

Garments to Quilts

A couple months ago I met a gentleman and his daughter at a local fabric shop. They had 3 large black bags full of clothes that had belonged to the wife and mother that had recently passed. They wanted 3 quilts, one for each of them and a brother. I finished them up last night.Continue reading “Garments to Quilts”

Memory Quilts

This last month I created several memory quilts for a few customers. From T-shirt quilts to baby clothes to the clothes from a lost loved one, each one has it’s place. A few years ago I was commissioned by my cousin to make a quilt for her daughter with the T-shirts she collected throughout gradeContinue reading “Memory Quilts”

A VERY Busy Week

It’s been a busy week… First I was looking online for some fall crafts that I could do real quick for some table decorations for a Harvest Festival at my church. I came across this super cute yet simple felt leaf garland. It was a must do, so I did it. For now…it graces ourContinue reading “A VERY Busy Week”

My Most Recent Acquisition

This is my machine. I got it about 15-17 years ago. A Bernina and she has treated me very well. A couple weeks ago, she got sick and it was about that time that I began to think of giving her a much needed retirement. Not putting her away for ever, but giving her someContinue reading “My Most Recent Acquisition”
