I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. It’s been a lot going on in my world, which of course is no excuse. BUT, if it’s any consolation, I have some really exciting things coming up here soon. Look for the first post on the 5th of April (So, it looks like we’ll be launching sometime in May. Stay posted!). …
I’m NOT the only weird one. . .
That’s what I think when I’m with all the other amazing ladies (we haven’t had any men attend yet ;-)) that attend the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild meetings. I guess many of us quilters and crafters have always created alone. Of course the internet has opened up a wide community but, it’s nothing like being in person with people …
Going Potholder Crazy!
The Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild had a potholder swap for our December Holiday Gift Exchange. At first I wasn’t extremely excited but, when it came down to it I had an absolute blast. There was a problem though. We had to design ONE potholder. 🙁 One potholder? Are you serious? That was excruciating for me! So, instead of one, …
Wonky Circles and Echino. . .
(If you’re looking for the Giveaway post click here.) So, I’ve been thinking about this quilt for awhile and I finally got started on it. I bought an Echino panel from The Urban Craft Center in Santa Monica and I wanted to highlight the panel when I used it. So I decided not to cut the panel and to create …
Squeezing in a little quilting!
So, it’s been a busy last couple of weeks and disappointingly I haven’t been able to work on my quilts much. As a result – I haven’t been able to blog at all. 🙁 First it was a week long trip to San Francisco for work. Then it was Thanksgiving and a 3-day weekend cruise to Mexico. While I enjoyed …
Holding on to Summer
So, I always make things for other people. And, very rarely for myself. But, I’m learning how to treat myself at least as good as I treat other people so I decided to make a quilt just for me. I have a few of the quilts that I’ve made but, they were usually an experiment or trying out a creative …
Two Perfect Things. . .
There are two things that I think are perfect. Picnics. And, circles. Picnics are romantic for two and awesome for many. It’s just you and those that you love sitting close to each other and nature eating yummy food (picnics make all food yummy) having nothing better to do than connect with each other. What can be more perfect than …
Strawberry Disco Fields
So, I bought this fabric over a year ago. A friend was having a baby girl and I wanted to make her something. That was before my quilting days where I usually just made blankets with a minky backing, bibs, burps, and a ball.Very cute, but, not a quilt. So, when I started quilting earlier this year – I quickly …
Falling in love with solids. . .
So, I found out my college friend Tommie was getting married to his long time girlfriend – just a month before it was supposed to happen! I knew I had to make a quilt for them. (I really just need an excuse to justify making another quilt. But, shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone!) Anyhow, for some reason I got it into …
LA Modern Quilt Guild! Our first meeting!
OMG! It was more fun than I thought it would be. I usually try not to have expectations so that I can absorb each morsel of an experience but, I was so excited at the prospect of connecting with others that dream about creating yummy modern quilts as much as I did that my expectations were so high. And, yes …
