  • Pumpkin Patch Quilts & another “Bag Lady” class

    Another fun class at Pumpkin Patch Quilts, in Lee MA! I love going to Susan & Dan’s shop, the Pumpkin Patch Quilts! I taught another “Bag Lady” class there on May 27th.  I absolutely love going to a bag class just to see all the different fabric combinations that are used for making my Just…

  • North Country Quilt Guild

    I visited the North Country Quilt Guild last month (yes, I’m finally getting around to posting this), and had a wonderful time meeting all the quilters from that area of our beautiful state!  I always refer to the capital region of New York as “upstate”, but they definitely have it beat over us!  They are…

  • “Over East” classes

    It’s Over East Time!  I’ve been holding some workshops with my newest patterns  . . . . Sandpipers on Parade, Down at the Dock, Harbor Light, and Out to Sea.  All from my series, “Over East”.  No, these are NOT “Ladies” this time.  I’ve decided to work with the four directions for awhile, you know,…

  • Another Bag Lady Class

    I LOVE helping quilters make my “Just Right” Bag!  This past Saturday, I headed down to Athens, New York for another class.  A Great bunch of quilters.  We sewed, and ate and sewed some more!  (Great lasagna, Mary Ann!) And as always, I love showing the finished projects.  Here they are . . . .…

    Hi All, I’m just “collecting” myself from two wonderful days of conducting workshops and speaking with the Q.U.I.L.T. Guild of Delmar, NY. A great bunch of Quilters, (very talented quilters, too!), who meet the second Friday of each month, at the Reform Church in Delmar, NY.  Like most guilds, they had a lot going on,…

  • My “Just Right” Bags

    Quilted Pocketbooks!  Who knew they’d be such a big hit.  Actually I DO know the popularity of bag patterns, afterall, I’m a quilter too, and enjoy making ALL things Quilted! :)  AND my first bag pattern is going over very well!  I named this pattern, “My Just Right Shoulder Bag” for the first edition –…

  • The Barnyard Ladies

    I’ve posted a few entries about Barnyard Lady classes, but I realized the other day that I never really “introduced” these Ladies to all of you!  In June, I launched the four patterns, and as with all of my ladies, I designed them as individual pieces, but they can be connected to make one larger…

  • Portable Sewing Machine Table with Wheels

    I bought a portable sewing table . . . . . well it’s sort of portable.  A bit heavy, no ‘handles’ for carrying, or wheels for walking it into retreats, etc.  However, the price was right!  $125 with free shipping!  Can’t go wrong with that.  And it’s the perfect height, width, etc, etc.  Here’s what…
