  • Cabin Fever Retreat at Brandt Lake, NY

    Earlier this month and spent a day at Brandt Lake, NY to teach a “bag” class to some Cabin Fever Retreaters!    Wow, what a beautiful place to be – plenty of snow all around the lodge, and a frozen lake for the ice fisherman and the snowmobilers.  Of course, all of us quilters love…

  • “Bridge of Flowers” and “A Notion to Quilt”

    This past weekend (March 1st & 2nd) I traveled “over the mountain” to Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, Home of The  Bridge of Flowers!  Last year, Becki, owner of A Notion to Quilt, asked me if I’d be interested in designing a “bridge” pattern.  No hesitation on my part, I loved the idea.  If you’ve read any…

  • At Home Quilting–AND another great class

    Several weeks ago, I taught a class in Johnstown, “At Home Quilting”.  Love this shop, and the owners, Jennie & Dan.  They started their business offering Long-Arm services, but have since moved to a bigger and brighter location and now have it all! – long–arm services, fabrics, notions, machines, (Juki), chairs, carts, classes, etc., etc.! …

  • Jay Peak Retreat!

    Two weekends ago, I had my first opportunity to return to an area that I knew well back in the seventies and early eighties!  I was asked to teach at a quilting retreat at Jay Peak, Vt.  Boy, did that area ever change since I lived there!  The view out my front window back then,…

  • another two-day workshop at Log Cabin Fabrics

    I think my car knows the way to Log Cabin Fabrics without me driving – it’s definitely one of my regular “hang out” shops to be at!  And this past weekend was no exception.  There were three quilters for the two day workshop – and all were making the Holiday Ladies!  First up is Mary…

    On Friday the 13th I drove “over East” to the sweet little New England village of Lee, MA and had a class at Pumpkin Patch quilts!  Susan and Dan are always fun to hang out with along with two quilters, one who made an “older” pattern of mine, “Evening Retreat”, and the other making one…
