All In A Day's Work

Hello Everyone,

On Thursday, I spent the day with a lovely group of ladies in Rhode Island!  I was the guest speaker and teacher at the Narragansett Bay Quilters.  We started off the day with a paper piecing class.  The students ere able to pick one of three patterns, Total Eclipse, Sunflower Illusions, or Desert Sky.  You can find the patterns here in my shop.

In the meantime, I wanted to show you some of the colors that my students used...

They all did a great job and I had a ton of fun teaching too!

After class we went for dinner and then came back and I did my lecture and trunk show.  My friend Tina from Seaside Stitches came to see me and brought her mom.  It was sooooo nice to see her and we actually had dinner together the night before.  Thanks, Tina for coming!

After my lecture, there was show and tell.  I love a good show and tell and here are some of the photos that I was able to take.

The front.

The back.

Love this "Amish" feel.

Beautiful scrappy!

Just was head over heals for this quilt.

Beautiful applique and quilting.

Gorgeous indigo.

All in all I had a wonderful day and had fun with these talented ladies!

Until Next Time...

Quilt Show

Hello Everyone,

This is definitely the season for Quilt Shows.  This weekend there was another great quilt show in a church and nearby my home.   So my mom and I went to see the church all decked out in quilts.  

I must say that I really love how these fabulous New England churches look all dressed up in quilts.  But the best part is I am going to share some photos with you.

Keep in mind as we walked out the door, I had forgotten my camera.  All these photos were taken with my iPhone.

Love the pews draped with quilts.

The lone star on the alter is just perfect.

Now some of my favorite quilts.

Very unique, very bright and colorful, totally a Jackie quilt.

Another view of the pews.

Another beauty by the same maker.

There was a nice selection of antique quilts on display.  Loved this Joseph's coat.

My friend Justine had many quilts in the show, most all of them I quilted for her.

Another great antique quilt, love the green.

A beautiful antique Lone Star.

Love this red, white and blue crazy quilt.

30s double wedding ring.

This basket quilt was started in the 30s and finished in the 60s.

A wonky quilt... love.

Justine's beach cabana quilt.

A Judy Niemeyer quilt, Cattails in the Meadow.  Pattern can be found here.

And this beautiful appliqué quilt.  

Hope you enjoyed the show!!

Don't forget there is still time to enter my giveaway going on here.

Also if you are in West Nyack, NY tonight stop by and say Hello... I will be doing a lecture on paper piecing at the Heritage Quilters of the Hudson Palisades.

Until Next Time....

Quilt Show

Autumn Sunset

 Hello Everyone,

A little while ago, I was sent some beautiful batiks to play with and to use in making a new quilt design for a brand NEW quilting publication... Quilt It Today!

Of course, I could not pass up this opportunity to play with fabric, would you?? 

I started cutting and had some fun.  So many different fabrics give this quilt much more interest. 

I quilted an edge to edge design that had a slight vine, feather design.

I used a dark batik backing and the striped beige for the binding.  I love stripes on bindings.

Here is the quilt... doesn't it look right at home amongst the fallen New England leaves?  

Would you like to see it in the magazine??  I do...

Here is their photo shoot, it looks great doesn't it?? 

And guess what...

It made the cover!  My quilt is another cover girl!!  So excited!  

However, I can't seem to find a copy of this magazine.  I know they are in Joann stores, but we don't have one close by... I think I may be making a road trip!  Look at the price too... can't beat that!  

If you want to make this quilt, go out and get yourself a copy too!

They do have a website though, click here to see the site.  Once you get there, click on the tab for the designers and you will see my designer profile!  Again... very excited!

Until Next Time...
