A Real Post - and a few Questions???

So, I recently learned to post onto my blog from the IPAD. I am am still unsure of whether I like it or not, it isn't as robust as the computer, but the truth is, sometimes I don't want to lug the computer everywhere with me. So for convenience, I give it a thumbs up, for functionality, I'm still undecided, so I'll leave it to you.

Would you rather have more quick posts, or fewer complicated posts??? Do you want tutorials (I have an awesome one on a jelly roll race quilt that I did a few weeks ago).

Do you want to see "in process" projects? Or just finished things?? Learn about the tools I use every day and how I do it??? Where I go, and what I see?? Where I want to go, and what I want to see? Or a little bit of everything, and the occasional log post somewhere in the mix.

I have so many ideas in my head for what this blog could be or should be or might be or will be, but the reality is, will anyone read it??? I started it as my personal story for my own reasons, my own posterity, but it's changing now, and I'm really good with that. I have met lots of great people through blogging. Nice normal people, I have yet to meet the crazies that I keep getting warned about by my ever loving hyper-vigilant Mom. Seriously Mom, the people are pretty great! (note to self....check and see if Mom reads my blog, that might explain her reaction).

So, let me know what you want to see.....and I'll see if we can make it work!

Happy Quilting!!!

Finally!

Well, I did it. I've been talking about it, and researching, and debating, and looking some more, and I finally broke down and bought a featherweight. A 1948, and I am super excited to play this week.....

Pictures later this week!

Valley Quilters Guild

Well, today we are at the Valley Quilter's Guild show in Van Nuys , CA!

The venue is SO nice! Nice big spaces, plenty of parking, and a restaurant all at the hotel!

I set up yesterday and did some last minute tweaking this morning. I have some demos planned for the day, and some project prep to do!

Here's some pics of the booth! It amazes me that I never set it up the same twice!

March and April Update

So, I've been delinquent lately, I know! Life as been really busy, and a little bit crazy, but in a good way. Penny is quite lovely and needed in a crazy life.

So, here are some updates, not in any particular order....

1. 12 new patterns this year - I'm doing okay here, mainly because I got ahead in January and February.

2. New Judy pattern each quarter....finished Summer Solstice, and sent it to the quilter. Should have it back next month. Worked quite a bit on several projects but didn't get any finished. Currently in process : 1. Pepperdish, 2. Glacier Star, 3. 3 Ducks, 4. Forever Yours. All of these have all units complete and just need some assembly time to finish them up.

Goals for May : 2 shows, finish at least 1 of the quilts listed above.

Get my FOCUS back and teach Penny to walk on a leash.

On the Needles

Just finished the first round of decreases on this bad boy! 648 becomes 432.

Henderson Show, Sunday Scope Out

As a vendor and instructor, I often don't get a chance to actually see the quilts in a show. But occasionally, I arrive really early, and the venue is open, and I get to wander around and see things....today was that day. I got to wander the aisles and take some quick iPad pics. There were some lovelies....some modern, some traditional, even some dolls and clothes.

Enjoy!
