    My two daughters and I just got back from seeing the 2014 Miami Valley Quilters’ Guild show. If you’re in the area, it is well worth the trip to Xenia, Ohio. The bright, airy room is beautifully laid out and it’s packed full of quilts! Beautiful quilts of all kinds. Coloring Grandma’s Garden is at…

    Last night, my quilt guild, the Miami Valley Quilter’s Guild, had their annual “How-To” Demonstrations meeting. Four members demonstrated various techniques or skills.

    On Saturday afternoon, I had the pleasure of going to a Miami Valley Art Quilt Network meeting to show my quilts. I’ve enjoyed getting to know several of these talented ladies over the years, and I got to know a few new ones, too. Because it was a small group, we had a lot of…

    Winners from the 2012 MVQG show

    The Miami Valley Quilters’ Guild met last night, and they announced the winners from last weekend’s show. Our guild doesn’t use a panel of judges to pick the winners.

    Product review: Sulky Paper Solvy

    I continued to push ahead with my “glorious” yellow quilt challenge, which my quilt guild so kindly proposed. I guess I’ve actually started thinking of it as “glorious gold.” Doesn’t that sound better? “Gold” just sounds so much more dignified that “yellow.” Tuesday I assembled the three sections of this little quilt. I don’t think…

    Tutorial: Appliqued circles

    Ah…time for a break. I had a great day because I was able to spend a good four to five hours working on the middle ring of the “glorious” yellow quilt I’m making for my guild’s 2011 quilt challenge. I left this ring for last because I needed to use the gold tissue lamé. Taming…
