Desert Sky

Hello Everyone,

I am back and have had a day or so to gather myself together after the New England Quilt Festival (MQX) 2013. It was my first time teaching there and I had a BLAST!

All the ladies who were in my classes were just fabulous.

On Saturday, I taught the Desert Sky class and wanted to show you some of the beautiful combinations that these ladies made.

A mother daughter duo made these gorgeous blocks.

Yummy citrus colors.

Proud mom and daughter.

Brights, gotta love them.

Mmmmm.... jewel tones are fabulous!

Love this batik fabric and the contrast.

Desert like colors.

Aren't they fantastic? You can see TONS more photos here.

If you would like the pattern you can click here.

I had so much fun teaching at MQX, I can't wait to do it again!

Until Next Time...

It was a great day yesterday!! I am teaching at the New England Quilt Festival (NEQF) and had two wonderful sessions. In the AM, I had a lecture/trunk show. The ladies were fabulous and had TONS of great questions.

In the PM, I taught the Seasonal Table Runner Class. This group of ladies were just as wonderful. Here is a little peek into the classroom.

Do You Remember This???

Hello Everyone,

Last year I had posted this quilt, my Diamonds In The Rough, that I designed using just Half Square Triangles (HSTs). I enjoyed using my scraps to create this quilt.

Why am I showing this quilt again, you ask???

Because... Lookie here...

It is featured in the newest issue of Modern Patchwork!! Yahoo!! I adore the photo they took. It looks just right hanging there with those tulips.

Here is a little peek at the intro... YES... there are instructions on how to make this quilt too!

The magazine will be available in my shop in the next few weeks and it will also hit the newsstands then as well.

There are other fabulous quilts and projects in this issue and it is very inspiring!

I hope you like my design and will want to give it a try. If not, there are tons others to try. But I would love to see yours!!

I am off to teach at the New England Quilt Festival today. If you are going, pop in to say hello!

Until Next Time...

Beautiful Stars

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday was our 4th session of the Glacier Star Class in Vermont. Let me tell you these ladies are fantastic and I truly enjoy teaching them. All of the ladies have all different color palettes for the Glacier Star, which makes it even more interesting.

I must say, I am really anxious to see these quilts completed. Only two more sessions!

But let's take a peek at the progress they are making. I personally love progress photos, how about you?
