IQF-Long Beach-Saturday Night Sampler
I had a blast at Int’l Quilt Festival-Long Beach ! Now, I’m tired, excited and recovering. The photo shows my table at the Saturday Night Sampler, with DH manning the cash register. I gave away a quilted wholecloth table runner which you see on the right-more about that later. The Sampler was a resounding success! Apparently there is […]
Off To Long Beach!
I thought I would have more time to post before I left, but I’m in a rush. I consistently underestimate the amount of time it takes to complete a task. The table runner that will be the give away at IQF-Long Beach took way longer than I thought, but it was great fun to quilt. […]

Linda lives where you can see a full view of the Sierras from her back deck-not bad inspiration, huh? I have […]

Last Show of the Season-Pine Tree

It was a delightful show with a good mix of traditional, contemporary and art quilts as well as some great fiber art. If you click on the pictures you’ll get a better view of each quilt. […]
Show Time! Foothill and Loomis Guilds
It’s Quilt Show Season in northern California and I’ve been able to attend two great shows over the last 2 weeks that leave me inspired. One thing I love about going to quilt shows is that you see quilts outside of your genre-there is much inspiration and instruction to be gained from going outside of […]
