Not a lot new to show you so let's take a look back.
This blog began December 31, 2011, mostly as an "online diary" of my quilting Journey. Here is the first post:
Out With the Old, In with the New
Today the studio has a different configuration but it's still my Happy Place.
Ten years ago I had been "on the road" teaching all over the country for 2 years. And I started "teaching" on the blog too. There are many tutorials--find them under the TUTORIALS tab at the top.
In July 2016, so 10 years ago, I wrote this one:
It is lengthy with lots of photos and emphasizes a lot of tips for improving your piecing. As an added bonus it shows how to correctly replace an Olfa rotary cutting blade. In my classes I often fix a student's rotary cutter--they are often reassembled incorrectly:
I also explained the fastest way to get diagonal lines drawn on a lot of squares, a method I still use frequently. And I still teach this to most every class. It's a "worth the price of admission" TIP:
Five years later, 2021, I am still going strong with a weekly blog post. This one features RED WHITE AND BLUE QUILTS:
Some are simple, some more complex. The pattern SAIL ON was in a magazine Easy Quilts Spring 2019. The larger one shown here was presented to a friend as a QUILT OF VALOR. Read about that ceremony here:
QUILTS OF VALOR AWARD CEREMONY
And if you are only going to look at ONE of my blog posts, go to THIS ONE:
It is my TOP TEN favorite posts I have written and certainly touches on the most important aspects of my JOYFUL JOURNEY as a quilter. You will know more about who I am from these than any thing I could tell you directly. The list includes tributes to two special quilter friends you should know. And lessons I learned from a humble old quilt.
Now I have to get back to two big projects so I have more to show you.
Let's quilt.
