Quilt Market Here I Come!

I’m so excited! I’m headed to my very first Quilt Market today! I’m going with Sheila Sinclair Snyder and I think we are going to have tons of fun. Can you say ROAD TRIP! I hear there will be too much to see, and I suspect it will be overwhelming…in a good way!

I’m hoping to see my buddies at Generation Q Magazine in person! That will be fun. And who knows what else awaits there? Fabrics and quilts and tools….oh NO! Below is just a sample of what the Generation Q folks are giving away!

It will be a whirlwind day, and the very next day I leave on a Quilt Retreat, so I won’t be able to post about it until I return. So you’ll just have to wait to hear all about it! (But gosh, I’m sure you have plenty of things to do between now and then, right?)

Happy Quilting!

My New Favorite Product

Mary Ellen’s Best Press is one of my favorite products for my sewing studio. I’ve been using it for about six months now, and really love the way it performs. A little spray and it smooths the fabric, and very slightly stiffens it to make for better sewing…especially when I’m cutting on the bias. Try some!

I just love Rhodies! They grow quite naturally here in the NorthWest, and they love it under our oak and fir trees. Let the blooming begin!
