An Upcoming Class - Join the Fun! from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Even though I usually teach or give presentations a couple times a month, many of them are not often open to the public.

So when I have something scheduled anyone can attend, I always like to get the word out.

(I try to list them on my Classes page but I don't always get a chance to write a post about them.)

I will be teaching my Improv Garden class in Coos Bay Oregon on Saturday April 11th. The class will be hosted by Threads That Bind.

This is a technique class and I will be talking a lot ...

What are fellow quilters making? Why are these designs and fabrics so popular? Are these trends new or are traditional styles making a comeback?

Don’t worry, we’ve found the answers. We’ve taken a close look into the world of quilting to find out what’s trending. Here are are the top five:

1. Stars

From Memorial Day to Veterans Day, a star quilt can find itself taking center stage all throughout the year and when we aren’t stocked up on red, white, and blue; quilters find stars to be quite innovative. Five points or ten, stars ...

Nighttime Sky from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have finished my Nighttime Sky improv wall hanging.

I used the same technique I used on my Improv Garden and pillow. I really like how it turned out!

The size of this piece is just 36" square and is made from navy and yellow scraps.

I changed up the lighting here so you can see the dark fabrics in the background really have a lot going on in them. There is a lot of purples, turquoise and gray that add a lot of interest.

On the back, I used a New York City piece I have been hoarding for ...

A series of classes from Quilting and More...

It’s been a very long time since I was fortunate enough to be able to take a class from a lady who is probably my all-time favorite instructor, Philippa Naylor. Some years ago, I had classes from her in Houston on varied topics like free-motion quilting, piecing, and binding. Lately, though, her classes haven’t been […]

Card case from Quilting and More...

So let's chat from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

about the Sherry Lynn Wood workshop that I attended over the weekend. I had great fun seeing so many of my quilty friends. Marty of Marty's Fiber Musings was there. As were Lori, Marquita, Glen (of Quilts and Dogs blog), Joyce, Stephanie, and Yvonne from BRMQG. They were there for the long haul--Friday through Sunday and staying overnight, which means they had dinner together at local restaurants.

Of course, I had the pleasure of meeting other quilters, mostly from Quilters Guild Acadienne, which is a guild in Lafayette. QGA and BRMQG have fearless leaders willing to combine efforts and ...

Sunday Quilt Inspiration: Sherri Lynn Wood workshop from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

I attended a two-day workshop with author Sherri Lynn Wood thanks to the Baton Rouge Modern Quilt Guild and Quilt Guild Acadienne. Held at A&A Sewing Center, this workshop could not have been more. Class fees paid for everything, and I mean everything. That included more delicious food than we could eat. (South Louisiana, y'all. We know how to eat!)

leaders, Torch (left) and Lori (right)

Int’l Quilt Market Part 1, a sale and a win! from Art and Quilting in Camden

So much has happened in the past 2 1/2 weeks: International Quilt Market, International Quilt Festival, and a whopper of a cold, a lovely weekend with my older son and DIL, and some home improvements. So I’ll start at the beginning…with one detour: I sold a quilt at Festival after all! I’ll post on that in a few days (I shared on FB), but first let’s start with Market. And read to the end for the big surprise!

I arrived on Sunday of Quilt Market–usually I fly in on Tuesday or Monday and begin ...

Fun in Southern Oregon from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I recently spent a few days with the Umpqua Valley Quilters Guild in Roseburg Oregon.

They are such a great group!

(In fact, you should mark your calendars - they have a wonderful Quilt Show coming up in April 2020. You can check out their Facebook page here to learn more.)

I am very bad about getting out my phone and taking photos but I did snap a photo of everyone with one of their finished blocks in the Spin! class. This group had a wonderful selection of colors and fabrics. I look forward to seeing some finished quilt tops soon ...

A tip from Quilting and More...

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I absolutely agonize over which quilting designs I’m going to use on a quilt. In the past, I’ve begun a motif, only to decide that it simply doesn’t work on that particular area, and then I’ve had to pick it all out. Ugh. However, I took a class […]

Blossom Heart Quilts Retreat 2020 from Blossom Heart Quilts

Spending time with fellow quilters (whether we are actually sewing or not!) is one of my most favourite things to do. I’ve shared before how important the online quilting community was to me during our years in Japan, but upon return to Australia, it was the in-person community that welcomed me with open arms and formed a major part of my friendship circles.

Giving back to the community, and further fostering creative community, has become a big part of where I want Blossom Heart Quilts to go. Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of being able to run ...

On display at International Quilt Festival Houston 2019 from Art and Quilting in Camden

I’m a bit gobsmacked to realize I have five, yes FIVE…5….5!!!!, quilts on display in Houston this year! If you are there, I hope you get to see them up close and personal…after all, we know what a world of difference it makes. If you’re not in Houston, here’s what I’ll have on display:
