Teaching my first class!
I have a fun Saturday planned! I get to teach my first class at Gloversville Sewing Center from 10-4, an introductory to modern quilting! I am super excited and think it will be great. If you know anyone in the Capital region of NY who is interested in modern quilting, and would like a fun […]
Summer is anything but quiet
We’re about to begin summer vacation tomorrow, and it’s going to be anything but quiet at our house! Posting may be light until we find our equilibrium. I have a very active just-six little boy, and a very active but still-napping 2+ year old, so the juggling, it will commence. In the meantime, I just […]
“Pure Improv” with Denyse Schmidt
This was originally posted at Bad Ass Quilter’s Society, and I am reposting here for my own readers. Saturday, June 8, I attended the “Pure Improv” class with Denyse Schmidt, with Richard Killeaney assisting, at her studio in Bridgeport, CT. After a last-minute decision to scoop up a spot that had opened up (I was […]
My mini quilt, all finished, for the Ellison Lane mini challenge!
I have had this idea in my head for a while, and while I have a much bigger version for a queen-sized quilt (with more colors), so I was pretty excited to make a mini version for the challenge over at Ellison Lane and see it finished right away. As you may know if you’ve read […]
Links to awesomeness
I went to school at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. It’s a wonderful quirky place, especially without the students there. Here’s a great post over at Messy Nessy Chic which really hits on something special: the tiny doors of Ann Arbor. It is inspiring and makes me want to do something similar. Love this […]
Just can’t wait, so here’s a sneak peek
I have been working on a new pattern for a while, a nested Greek cross. In my head, it started out as a queen-size (and, in fact, is half-way pieced as a queen-sized quilt), but then the mini challenge over at Ellison Lane was announced and I thought this would make a striking pillow or wall […]
Dinner Plates, I tell you.
Ever since I saw the dinner-plate dahlias at the botanical gardens in Mendocino (seriously. Go there. In August.) , I have wanted to grow them. I don’t, however, have the time and care that they take. Digging them up every fall? We’re lucky if the garden is (ever) weeded. My peonies, however, thrive on neglect. […]
Y’ALL. Sometimes crazy things just happen
I’m sure you all know that Denyse Schmidt Quilts has improv piecing classes. And there is one this weekend, which just happens to have a last minute opening and on their facebook page they offered a really nice discount to fill the space. So I emailed them. Guess who’s now going to this one? And […]
On today’s list of things to do
It’s been really busy here the last few weeks as we get closer to the end of the school year. We have two or three events for the kids each week until school is out, and then the driving to camp starts. We’re checking out a daycare today for the fall for our littlest, for […]
