A Beautiful Row Quilt in the Making by Janet

Posted in Quilting, Serendipity, Sewing, The Studio/Classes, tagged , , on August 27, 2023| Leave a Comment »

At yesterday’s Row Quilt class while some of our quilters finished up their blocks, Janet started assembling her quilt rows. Isn’t it gorgeous???!!!! I just love how it is turning out. And Janet is doing a beautiful job on it. Can you believe she has just started quilting recently while attending The Studio’s Quilt as You Go classes? I can’t wait to see it when she gets the other half on it along with the border and binding. The color and fabric choices are so nice. It’s going to be fabulous!!!! Great work Janet.

I just had to share this really neat mixed media art piece that Denise K gave me for my birthday. The little dog made out of rocks and the flowers from pottery pieces with the little line sketch is just amazing. It was such a wonderful surprise. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! Nice work Denise. You create the most beautiful artwork. Thanks for sharing it with me! If you don’t know Denise’s work check out her website, The Mud Peddler, here.

My Favorite Jelly Roll Quilt

Posted in Quilting, Serendipity, Sewing, tagged , , , on August 1, 2023| Leave a Comment »

I just completed this jelly roll quilt a week or so ago with the same basic design as the one I did a few months ago. (See it here.) I love the design and had a beautiful jelly roll that I wanted to use. This fabric is Island Batik’s “Paisley Got Mod”. I think the colors are so nice together. This is a fun quilt to make and so easy. And yes, this one is a Quilt as You Go!

Road Trip 2023 Quilt Complete

Posted in Quilting, Serendipity, Travel, tagged , on July 23, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Remember the BIg Quilt Adventure that we went on in March? (Read about it here and here. ) And remember that I designed a quilt that featured a block for each of the states that we stopped and shopped in? (See that here.) Well, it’s back from the long-arm quilter and I LOVE IT! It is going to be a great memory from our trip and the quilters who went along on this epic adventure. I added a label to the back that features my fellow shoppers.

Great Turn Out for Belle Grove Paint Party

Posted in Landscape, Paint Parties, Serendipity, Travel, tagged , , on June 12, 2023| Leave a Comment »

We had a large group of 28 painters (not all shown here) for the Belle Grove Paint Party Fundraiser yesterday. So many nice people came out to paint the beautiful scene that you see behind them in the photo. The wind gave us a little challenge but everyone came through like champs. Nice work everyone. Thanks Kristin for inviting me out to paint at such a lovely location. Now maybe next time we won’t have to tape down the palette paper! 🙂

Sandy’s Special Quilt

Posted in Quilting, Serendipity, tagged , , , , , on May 27, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Sandy is Lincoln’s sitter. She has been with us even before Lincoln so she has been a family friend for a very long time. Recently she was admiring a specialty quilt that I made for another friend and I told her I would make one for her that featured something she loved. Did I mention that Sandy is an amazing photograper? Well, she is. So I wanted to make her quilt with a camera theme. I asked her to send me some photographs she had taken….some of her favorites. Having received them I started laying out a design that would include a camera and film and this is what I came up with. The camera and film roll are applique. The black and white film is pieced fabric made to look like film. I printed Sandy’s photos on EQ8 Satin Printable Fabric Sheets. The border fabric with cameras I got through Joann’s. This quilt took way more time in planning than I anticipated but I was happy with the results. And I think Sandy liked it!

1 Van, 5 Quilters, 9 Days, 10 States, 31 Quilt Shops and 2723 Miles!

Posted in Quilting, Serendipity, Travel, tagged , on March 27, 2023| Leave a Comment »

What more is there to say! We started with a 15 passenger van and 5 quilters. We spent 9 days traveling through 10 states covering 2723 miles and visited 31 quilt shops. It was a Fabric Acquisition Road Trip. Just look at my haul!!!! This will keep me busy for a little while. We spent about 7 months planning the journey . Our group was amazing and so much fun. Everyone was amiable and flexible so we added and left off some stops along the way. We fit in just as much as we possibly could. Some of you followed along with our adventure and watched as Wilma, Barbara, Katrina and Janet made our way through 10 states. And even our friend Denise who had to drop out at the last minute went with us in spirit. It was an epic trip! I can’t wait to see what everyone creates with their finds.
