My friend Annie decided she wanted something different on this quilt, or should I say 18 different somethings on this quilt. Since it is so easily separated she wanted a different design in each row. I started out with the most simple overall pattern in anyone's repertoire, the stipple... Then small loopies... Then a pattern that I call Double Bubble Trouble ... Then some cute little leaves and loops... Then my own version of "cry baby" and I was just getting started!! Next up was my ever popular stars and loops pattern... Then I had a little fun, I made a few wavy lines across, added some pebbles in-between and came up with this... Swirls... River water, again...my own way... daisy's Then I had a little fun with some wavy lines in different directions in each square. The texture that this created is awesome!... Then I added my own version of a funky feather... Of course, I had to add some love!! I put some fun squares in... Then my own version of a fun fern... We are getting towards the end I swear!!! Next I put in some geometric designs... Wishbones... And then, finally, my new favorite....the itty bitty curli que... What a fun way to do a quilt! I might have to make one of these for myself to hang in my longarm quilting room (I have two quilting rooms by the way, one for piecing and one for quilting!!) Thanks for having me do this for you Annie! I had a blast! Happy quilting everyone!!
I am a bit obsessed with drawing at the moment. Here are my newest designs. I used a black fineliner from my pencil case. I think it is one by Stabilo. While watching some dumb tv shows, I drew the…

I have a few exciting teaching announcements and a ton of planning, prepping, stitching, retreating, drawing, and scheming ahead of me. I will make this post picture heavy and hopefully brief. I have been invited to teach at some very exciting shows in 2016 and I couldn't be more excited! QUILTCON FEB 2016 To start the year I will be at Quiltcon in Pasadena teaching, all hands on classes. I had an amazing time in Austin and am really looking forward to February. MQX APRIL 2016 In April I will be teaching at MQX in New Hampshire. New England will be gorgeous in April and I am looking forward to returning as a teacher instead of a student. I am teaching two hands on classes as well as some lecture/demo classes. To sign up for my classes click here. MQS MAY 2016 In May I will be off to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to teach at MQS, registration is not open yet, but should be in the upcoming weeks! SMQG 2015 But hey! 2015 isn't over yet and I am thrilled to be hosted by the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild for a drawing/ modern whole cloth design workshop. Join me Sunday, November 15th, 2015 from 10:30-4:45 at Tukwila Sew and Vac Click here to register, there are 5 spots left and registration is open to the general public now. WORKSHOPS!! YAY! Shown below are a few examples of what my Compositional Drawing/Whole cloth design class will look like. I am teaching this class at Quiltcon, MQX and at Tukwila sew and vac with SMQG. The photos below are samples that I have been making for my Broken Wreath and Ghost Shapes lecture/demo classes at MQX and MQS. Here, I used contrasting blue thread, definitely out of my comfort zone but it's a great exercise and the designs can really pop out. Shown below is quilting on one of the samples that I marked out in my whole cloth design class, this technique quilts out pretty fast and has been a very liberating way for me to look at quilting. And Voila! I've said it before but making class samples always opens up new doors for me. This style of quilting has inspired me to start working on a whole cloth (type) design, that's really not a whole cloth at all. Here are a few photos of my latest project which I will go into more detail as I figure out what I'm actually doing. The design is inspired by the stitch and flip triangle which is sprinkled through a lot of Katie Pedersen's work. I took her magic numbers class and was amazed at the possibilities that exist within this format. I am approaching this project with the intentions of doing it entirely on the longarm so there will actually be no stitch and flip anything, all of the piecing will be raw edge appliqué but the design is certainly inspired by Katie's work, which you can find in her and Jacquie's fabulous book, Quilting Modern. Off to get my week going, thanks for taking the time to read and I look forward to meeting some of you in my classes in the months to follow!! xo
I have hardly noticed the cold rainy weather we are experiencing here as I seem to be totally emersed in checking out all 600+ blogs on online Quilt Festival. I have made my way though about 150 blogs so far and thought I would share with you this great discovery. A relatively new Canadian quilting magazine is in stores and is on it's 4th issue, don't know how I missed this one. One of the contributers to the magazine Krista from Poppyprints is allowing her blog reader to use this above photo to spread the word about this magazine. Then while checking out some more blogs I discovered that the quilt in the cover of this magazine was made by Marlene, a fellow Manitoban. Check out her blog Sipiweske Designs If your interested in this magazine it is available at Chapters/Indigo or you can subscribe to it online HERE

I just got back from my trip to the Middle East and had a wonderful email from Kathleen Rountree waiting for me in my inbox. She is a fabulous quilter and fellow Linen Lady. She entered one of her linen quilts into the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in Virginia and received a Judge's Choice award from Anna Hergert. It's always nice to hear when a linen quilt receives a special award or ribbon in a show as these are still "new" in the quilting world. Congratulations Kathleen!!!! Beautiful quilt! Hugs, Cindy :)
