Persistence

If anything, I am persistent! I just can’t stop thinking about this quilt. I finally realized what I was doing wrong with my piecing. After my English Paper Piecing class at the Gainesville Modern Quilt Guild meeting last Wednesday, I got this brilliant idea that I could piece this quilt in the EPP method. I… Read More

Round Placemats

It’s tax season for me at work, but I have still been able to crank out a few projects, so I thought I would share. On February 10th, Linda Hungerford of Flourishing Palms blog and I gave our Modern Quilting presentation for the Tree City Quilt Guild in Gainesville, Florida. There were around 50 in attendance… Read More

Hexies and More

Wow! Life gets in the way sometimes. I can’t believe it has been months since I have done a post. Since the last time I posted, work continued to be hectic with understaffing. That improved in January when we hired a great gal, Lisa to help with our “Virtual Back Office” work and she also sews!… Read More

Summer Wrap Up

Wow, I can’t believe summer is over! My summer started with a very valuable employee leaving, which put me in a world of hurt as far as work goes. Consequently, my sewing and quilting world has come to a dramatic slow down. With no sewing, there isn’t much for me to blog about. I do… Read More

New Inspiration

Like I don’t have a million projects already, I picked up another one at the Gainesville Modern Quilt Guild meeting Wednesday night! For a recap of the meeting, here is Mia’s second quilt top.

WIP Wednesday

I just wanted to share what I am working on. I am bad about waiting until I finish a project to share it. So here is my Quilt for Boston quilt that I just layered and started quilting. It has lots of negative space and I am quilting in a zigzag every 3/8″. I’m not… Read More

Baby Shoofly

Wow! I can’t believe June is about over. Where did May and June go? May started out with the Tree City Quilter’s Bi-Annual Quilt Show. I had entered my quilt “Winter Palace” after a call from the Gainesville Modern Quilters to enter some modern quilts in the show. My quilt was one of three modern quilts in the show and… Read More
