Clint and I made a quick getaway last week to Disneyland.  We figured it would be the perfect date without the kids and we were headed to California anyway for the San Diego Quilt Show, so we made it happen.

I have people ask me all the time where my inspiration for quilting comes from. Well - it comes from everywhere. I am constantly looking at my surroundings and finding things that I could...

 So this last week I went to San Diego for the San Diego Quilt Show.  I had a wonderful time and met some amazing people.  Clint and I made a trip of it, so it was fun being together just the two of us. I was amazed at the beauty of San Diego - I hadn't been downtown before this week and I absolutely love it there!  

I had fun in my classes and met several wonderful people. It is funny that I still...

 

So, I have been preparing for classes the last couple of weeks.  I have some really fun classes coming up in San Diego next week and I hope to see you there. I guess all summer it went unnoticed that there was an error on the sign-up page (just for my classes) that said the classes were sold out. Not many were able to sign up, I wish I would have known this so more people could have planned on...

 

So, it is my turn for the Sew Kind of Wonderful Bloghop.  I have to say I love Jenny and her sisters so much!  I have had the best time getting to know Jenny over the years. We met through my blog and have been able to meet up at Market a couple of times.  She is the best!  Super talented too. I have to admit, I want to make every patternshe has come up with - if only there were more hours in the...

It is crazy to think that we have now been down in St. George for six years. It is always fun to reminisce because I want to remember how this journey all started. Six years ago I had a 3 day old baby and a 15 month old in our car packed with all things "moving." Lili was 3 years old and was sitting in the UHaul truck with Clint. We were young with 3 super young kiddos with a dream of working for...

In a nutshell I am frantically trying to get ready for my next couple of shows.  It is amazing how fast the summer flew by and being the procrastinator that I usually am, I am trying really hard to be finished with all my samples and handouts for my classes in Australia before I leave for San Diegoin a week and a half. I am happy to say that my samples are finished - isn't the one above just...

This summer was full of fun. I drove up to Salt Lake (4 hours north) five times since May. It has been so incredible sharing time with family. I have been feeling a little sentimental this morning and I just wanted to share a little of how our summer went. Lately I have been trying to decide what to share on this blog and what not to share. I know a lot of you follow me for my quilting pictures,...

As promised here is my tutorial for my Flower Patchquilt. I had a lot of fun with this and I hope you enjoy the tutorial. It's just me in my studio in a non-professional set up, so please take that into consideration as you are watching. I did the video editing by myself, but I have to thank my niece Kaija for holding the camera for me. So, watch this and then make your own quilt ;-) I would love...
