what's on the frames now 
I did not get much done last week since we were on a little family California getaway - but, I am well rested and tan (hooray) and gearing to go!  The quilt that is currently on the frames is amazing!  I'm 25 hours in and still have a lot more to go.  I can not wait to finish this one.  So, back to the schedule and back to getting some quilty things done.  

And, thank you so much for the love...

Thank you!


I have had some pretty amazing emails the last few weeks, as well as wonderful comments on my blog and other outlets like Instagram, Flickr, and Facebook. A nice email always comes during times when I am feeling overwhelmed with the things that I have to do and it reminds me of the amazing people I am blessed to know through this amazing internet. This incredible quilting community is full of...

My quilting is in a magazine!

That's my name in a magazine! 
There is something so great about seeing your name in print, in a national magazine and knowing that your work will be appreciated by lots of quilters. I have to admit that the feeling never gets old and thinking back to when I started this quilting journey, I never thought this would be possible. So, at times I just have to pinch myself to make sure it is real.

Romania Charity Video is here......

We want to thank all who donated quilts this year, and also thank you to all who donated money for food. We were able to purchase and hand out a lot of food thanks to your generosity! Clint took his Dad this year and just got back a few days ago. Clint said it was very cold, and heartbreaking to see so many living out on the streets. Most of the people you see in this video are orphans who have...

Quilt News...

Every now and again it is fun to let you know what has happened with the quilts I have quilted.  This was Thelma's quilt and I showed off my quilting here.  Thelma let me know that this quilt received a 3rd place ribbon in the large wall hanging category in the Road to California show. It is so exciting to have my quilting showcased in a quilt show and even better when it receives a ribbon. So,...

I made a quilt!

Strip This Quilt1 
Okay, first off - part of my new "balance" and schedule for the year is allowing time for me to piece quilts.  I love to piece, sometimes people just think I long arm quilt.  But, I started this whole journey piecing quilts and that is what I crave to do in my free time.  I really enjoy cutting into fabric and sewing it all back together again. I am sure you know what I mean ;-)

Another finish for Beth!

I am always thrilled to quilt for Beth, she is a long time customer of mine and I always love her quilts. She is the applique queen and the colors of her quilts are always so fun. I asked her to tell me about this particular quilt and here is what she said:

 This has been one of my favorite quilts.  It was a BOM called “Let’s Twist Again” by Sue Ross thru Material Obsession. It was a great...

the schedulethat is! I got this quilt done last week, sorry I can't show you more. Plus, I already have another quilt on the racks and it is halfway done. Add in the mix two new designs, one already pieced quilt top and one ready to cut out and you might say that structure is the key to getting things done! I wish I would have figured this out a long time ago. On top of everything quilting I have...
