Okay, so this first picture is for Kimberly - only for you friend!  My hair is crazy today!

Anyway, I am so excited to share with you Kimberly Einmo's new book, Modern Quilts & More recently published by AQS Publishing. I have known for a long time that the quilt Orange Zest, the one I quilted for Kimberly was going to be on the cover of the book. Yay! So, today I received the book in the mail and...

 

I am so happy to share this project with you.  This is a project that I knew I needed to complete since November, but it wasn't until last month that I knew what I was going to do.  This is going to be part of a special collection of small quilts by several designers to raise awareness for Libby Lehman. She is a quilt artist and teacher who suffered a stroke last April.

 

So, the idea was to look...

 

So, I have been home for as long as I was away.  It has been crazy catching up and today I finally cleaned the whole house, even the bathrooms ;-)  I have a few hours to catch my breath and then I will spend next week, starting Monday getting ready for HMQS.  I knew Spring was going to be crazy with my teaching schedule, and it has been - but it has been worth it.  

Jess traveled with me to Canada...

It has been a whirlwind kind of week and it is hard to believe that the time has flown so fast.  I have made some incredible friends and I can not thank Matt and Bradie enough for inviting me to come to Sparrow Studios. They are wonderful people. I have had two retreats in four days with one more retreat on Monday and Tuesday. So, it isn't over yet! I just wanted to share a little of what I have...

 

Okay!! So, I really hate pictures of myself - which is why I never post them if I don't have to. But, I feel like I need to post this picture of me with my longarm (don't mind the unkempt studio which is still a work in progress). Let me tell you why. I have been sharing my quilting pictures via Facebook, Instagram and this little blog here. Most of you have been following me from the get go and...

 

You know when you have a crazy idea for a quilt and you just have to get it finished? Well, that is the story with this quilt. I have a lot to tell you about this quilt, it is something I have needed to get started for a while now, but just realized last week how it would look. So, from drawing, to piecing, to quilting, I finished a good chunk of this quilt last week. Then, my needle broke on my...

 

I am happy to say that I finally have another finish under my belt.  It has been a while.  I am busy, life is crazy, but I am happy to be able to finally share this beautiful quilt with you.  Gwen pieced and appliqued this gorgeous quilt using Kaffe Fassett fabrics, it turned out beautiful!

Here is what Gwen has to say about the quilt:

“The pattern used for this quilt top is “Flower Pots” by Kim...

 Clint's sweet and adorable cousin, Lexiwas recently in an accident. She was hit by a car on her longboard and the doctors basically gave her a 1% chance at life. It was a scary time for her family as well as all of us who care for her and her family. I can not even imagine the heartache her family has gone through, but they have been amazing and a lot of people have come together to support Lexi...
