I spent two lovely days with the Chattahoochee Evening Stars quilt guild. They are as lively as their name suggests! At the lecture last night, these ladies from my class showed the progress they had made on the class block from the day before…
The whole class did excellent work and had a good time. I love seeing quilters smile :-).
I wrote about mom’s new princess phone a few days ago. It turns out that that phone didn’t work well with her hearing aids. The sounds were garbled and it didn’t take long before she was frustrated. You might have heard my very deep sigh when I realized that the phone shopping was not over. Continue reading
Quilt by Teresa Marler, quilted by Donna Titsworth.
Teresa Marler wrote a few months ago asking for permission to enter a quilt she made (quilted by Donna Titsworth) in which she used a few of our design elements. I always say yes but it’s nice to asked.
She just sent a picture of her quilt with the news that she won a biweekly prize at Hancock’s of Paducah. Isn’t it fantastic! I had to look twice to see the Tree O’ Life designs that come our book, Applique Outside The Lines. Very nice indeed!

And don’t forget to spend time quilting this weekend too :-).
Quilter’s Newsletter has written a review of my book, The Quilter’s Practical Guide To Color. I am honored and grinning from ear to ear!
And Sue (who posts as the Crochet Addict in the UK) wrote a glowing review of our book, Piecing the Piece O’ Cake Way. Click here to read it. If you’ve been wondering whether you can the Piecing book or not, this review might help you decide.
There’s a quilt in our new book, Piecing the Piece O’ Cake Way, that I called Wowie Zowie. I actually made it in 2 sizes: big bed-size and small baby-size. The bed quilt was designed to go on this bed, to replace that boring gray coverlet…
This is so much better. Wowie Zowie, right?!
This is a queen-size bed and the quilt covers the box spring and the bed rails, just as I intended it to. Angela Walters quilted this quilt for me and she did a terrific job, as always :-)!
Both this and smaller quilt are made solely from half-square triangles. Change the size of the half-square triangle and that changes the size of the finished quilt.
