I am a member of the Beginner LongArm Quilters Group on Facebook. I've been a member since the day I decided to buy my longarm. It is a very helpful group. One of the best parts is that we all share examples of our work, and share details about our machines and experience levels. Seeing … Continue reading Quilting a Jelly Roll Race the Fun Way
I have finally finished my Long Time Gone quilt. (Pattern by Jen Kingwell.) I do so enjoy the sew alongs with Gnome Angel, but now that I'm getting busier with client work it is more of a challenge to keep up.

They are all different techniques, and sometimes I forget to reset my seam allowance to make it a scant … Continue reading 52 Weeks with The Quilter's Planner – 6

Working on just one at a time gives the opportunity to really think about fabric use in each … Continue reading Oh, We're Halfway There….
I've decided to join Angie at Gnome Angel (gnomeangel.com) on her Tula Pink City Sampler adventure. I've followed Angie for a few years - she runs the Fussy Cutter's group on Facebook. This is an Instagram sew along, so it is something a little new for me. I consider myself to be an Instagram idiot … Continue reading #100DAYS100BLOCKS
