Sierra Gold Quilters Guild Show 2017
The Sierra Gold Quilters Guild meets in Pine Grove, Ca and I think I’ve lectured/taught there 5 times? It is a small and mighty guild with an abundance of talent. They put on a great show every year and I was thrilled to have a wee bit of time to stop in. Their venue is […]
Sutter Breast Cancer Auction 2017
The Sutter Medical Center in Sacramento offers a quilt auction every other year to raise funds to research breast cancer. I got a few moments to briefly enjoy the display and I’m sharing some of the quilts here. In most cases there was little or no attribution to the maker and/or quilter on the card. […]
If it’s Fall, I must be….
Fall is particularly welcome this year after record breaking heat this summer. We seemed to have instantly slammed into cooler weather and I’m delighted! And if it’s Fall, it must mean I’m prepping for Houston. Because I kit my classes, students walk in with snips, pencil and paper, and everything else is provided-they love that! […]
Annual Textile Exhibition-Olive Hyde Gallery
This was one of the best shows I’ve seen; every piece was exquisite. I stole an afternoon a few weeks ago to see the 49th Annual Textile Exhibition at the Olive Hyde Gallery in Freemont, Ca and apparently I have been missing something in the past few years! Unfortunately the show closes this weekend but […]
SoCal Adventure
I’m in the middle of my 3-guild 5-day tour of Southern California/Ventura County and it’s really been a lot of fun. This is a quick post cobbled together on my phone: I had a very lovely home stay for 2 nights. Unfortunately my GPS lead me astray and a Very Tired Jenny checked into a […]
Binding and Writing and Article in Quilting Arts Magazine!
Yes, I’m still binding and writing. I think it’s Groundhog Day because I keep on doing the same thing! There is great progress on finishing my projects for the book, and that’s good because I am behind in all the details of normal life. I’ve got some unconventional ways of doing things that work for […]
Of Binding and Short Cuts
Please make sure you read my note at the end of this post! I have binding to do, lots and lots of binding, literally 13 projects! Most of my quilts are art quilts and I prefer to hand finish my bindings. I cut them, gasp, at 1 7/8″ and sew them with a very scant […]
Exhibit at the Sisters Quilting Collective-“Never, Ever Forget”
I got a chance to be a normal person for a few hours last week. Besides all the mundane “catch-up” errands, I got to pop into the Sister’s Collective Gallery in Sacramento where “Never, Ever Forget-African American History, The Middle Passage and Beyond” was showing. I only had a little time to view the show […]
Ahhh, Lake Tahoe
I got to go play for a few days! The plan for this summer was supposed to be that July was my time off, time to regroup, relax and create. As it turned out I chained myself to my computer to write my book. I had exactly 4 days free after a deadline and before […]
I’ll Be Back
Hubby and I took a few days off and headed to Lake Tahoe. I hope to return rejuvinated and relaxed. Til next week….
