Quilting the Corner Store
I spent several hours last week quilting the Corner Store. Yes, she who does not normally quilt large pieces quilted a large quilt. I went easy on myself, because my shoulder is acting up again and I didn’t want to … Continue reading
BAMQG October Meeting
Saturday was the October meeting of the Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild. I know I am late getting this up, but I had to juggle posts around as I was sewing on Sunday instead of writing. The meeting was fun … Continue reading
Finished: Whole Cloth Quilt!
No other name really occurred to me as I was working on this quilt. It is kind of sad, because most of my other quilts have much better names. Still, it is better than “The No Name Quilt” and it … Continue reading
Whole Cloth
I have to say that I find it very frustrating not to be able to show every little detail of the progress of this piece. I couldn’t stand it any longer and wanted to give you a little peek. I … Continue reading
Other Marking Techniques
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about Saral Transfer Paper. Frances mentioned it on her podcast (Episode 96), but still seemed unsure, so I thought I would write about the other tools I use for quilting (sewing … Continue reading
Whole Cloth Quilt
I blame this project on Ruth over at Pippin Sequim. I didn’t want to do it. I resisted. Really I did, but the creative urge took over. It caught me at weak point and I gave in. I also was … Continue reading

Garden Progress
It is monumental that I am quilting. I hope you appreciate the momentousness of the occasion. Really, I do quilt small things, but most of my larger pieces are quilted by someone else. Part of the reason is an old … Continue reading
Garden Progress
This piece was started in a Pamela Allen class in 2009. I dreamed about it this week which encouraged me to pull it out of the closet (it usually hangs on the wall of my fabric closet, so I see … Continue reading
Preparing for Quilting
If you, mostly, do not quilt your quilts yourself, then part of your quiltmaking process should be preparing your quilt for your longarm professional. You can read my longarm rant which implies things to think about when choosing a longarm … Continue reading
Open Letter to Longarmers
Dear Longarm Quilter, Thank you for taking the time to quilt my quilt. I really appreciate your assistance, your artistry and your attention to detail. I want to support your small business, which is one reason I come to you. … Continue reading
Tarts Return
I rearranged my workroom yesterday and quilted on the Tarts. The quilt was calling from where it was neatly hung in the closet and begging to be worked on. Since I had no good excuse NOT to work on it, … Continue reading
Spending Quality Time with Tarts
I got a bug in my ear a week or so ago to quilt the Tarts. They weren’t hanging in the closet quilting themselves and the label does say 2010. I hauled them out, set up the table and quilted … Continue reading
Kathy Sperino Gorgeous Quilting
A few days ago Kathy posted the quilt below on her blog, Finishing Lines. I love the way she has matched the thread to the piecing. I like to do that as well, so the quilting is a design element, … Continue reading
