What a week. Holy smokes. I'm back home from QuiltCon 2024 in Raleigh, and getting back into the flow of working in the studio is a little rough. How about a little photo download a sharing of the experience instead? My trip started with a flight from Florida to New Jersey. I had a few … Continue reading QuiltCon 2024 – I’m Back Home!
Oh my god, you guys. I had so much fun at QuiltCon last year, I decided to go again this year, but of course, I have made it harder. Instead of just helping Deb Fisher in her booth the whole time, I'm helping her with setup and crowd control on day 1, then I'll be … Continue reading Getting Ready for QuiltCon 2024
I'm teaching at the Lancaster Quilt Show in Lebanon Valley this April! I was so excited when they reached out to see if I was available, and of course I am. I love teaching. I'll be there for two days, teaching a total of four classes, all machine stitching, since all of the classrooms have … Continue reading The Lancaster Quilt Show

**Update. My class did not sell enough seats, so it has been removed from the schedule. It's a little anti-climactic, but sometimes things don't go the way I planned. Hopefully I'll have some in-person classes listed again soon. At a different venue. I am so excited to share my big news! I'll be teaching two … Continue reading I’m Teaching at StitchFest Milwaukee!
Our Florida winter is over. We left last Friday and headed back to our New Jersey home, and I couldn't be more delighted, even though I woke up to snow on my lawn yesterday. What did I do on my first day back? Why, I went into NYC and visited Gotham Quilts, of course! I … Continue reading Visiting Gotham Quilts
My husband cleverly scheduled a vacation for the two of us for the week that winter arrived in New Jersey. We woke up early on Saturday, and with temps in the 20's, we headed to St John, in the US Virgin Islands. The beach is my husband's favorite place to relax. I'm not as much … Continue reading The Collection Quilt in Paradise
I'm having a little bit of an anxiety attack right now. My chair is finished, and I'm headed out to deliver it in a few minutes. (It isn't even due until Friday, but I can't take the stress anymore.) I'm worried that it was a stupid idea, that it looks stupid, and that it will … Continue reading Adirondack Chair Art Experiment – Complete!
My quilt guild graciously invited me to put on a trunk show. I've been freaking out about it for weeks. I gathered up 25 or so quilts and packed them into suitcases. Then Mom and I trundled off to the monthly meeting of Rebecca's Reel Quilters, in Middletown, New Jersey. When I was considering which … Continue reading My First Trunk Show!
Last weekend Jeremy and I took a little winter escape. Lucky for me, we had a few hours before our flight home, so Jeremy took me for a mini shop hop! I have to say, I was fairly stunned with how many shops popped up on my brief search. When I lived in Florida there … Continue reading Orlando Area Quilt Shops
