Visiting Colorado-The Quilting Council and Family
It was a fun week! I visited with my Sister and Brother-in-law in Morrison for a few days before spending time with the Colorado Quilting Council. CQC is not a guild, but state-wide organization that focuses on “preserving the heritage of quilting, to be a source of information and inspiration, and to encourage a high standard […]
Super fun, full visit to the Santa Clara Valley Quilter’s Association
Last week’s visit to the Santa Clara Valley Quilt Association in the San Jose area was memorable with a very enthusiastic response, a fun workshop and an eventful trip to the Central Coast of California. This was a car trip for me and it is nice to be able to bring every single thing I […]

Houston here I come!
I thought I would have time to post the rest of my PIQF photos but that was not to be. I also thought I would have time to make a donation quilt for the Festival fundraiser-that was also not to be. But I am ready to teach, mingle, learn and be dazzled by the quilts […]
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! […]
Goldbug Quilters Show-2016
If it’s Fall, it’s the “kickoff” of quilt show season, and the Goldbug Quilters‘ Show is the first of the season in my area. I always look forward to their show and one reason is… Cello Chocolate is a vendor! Why don’t ALL quilt shows have chocolate vendors, huh? They make “handcrafted chocolate from single origin cocoa […]
Chicago Quilt Festival 2016 and a Hometown Visit
Teaching at the Chicago International Quilt Festival was a first-time-through for me. I was excited to be able to teach and to be able to visit with friends and relatives after the show closed. It’s always a challenge just to get there with all my stuff intact. I shipped two huge boxes ahead since I made […]
Chicago IQF and a few other things
NoI’m on my way to Chicago today to teach at the International Quilt Festival. After the show I’ll head out with my oldest son to visit my Aunt and a few cousins as well as 2 high school friends-I’m excited about all of that! I’m randomly inserting photos of spring at the remodel. It’s going well and I […]
Houston International Quilt Festival 2014-Teaching
I will have several posts about the 2014 Houston International Quilt Festival. I am starting with my experiences at a teacher since my view of the festival was through the eyes of a teacher. Just to give a little perspective, a few facts: The George R. Brown Convention Center is 1.8 MILLION square feet! The […]
