    A visit with Lee Anna Paylor

    Yesterday I had a delightful visit with Lee Anna Paylor of Not Afraid of Color. Her husband was in town on a business trip and she and her poodle, Cole, came along. It turns out to be a win-win situation because he has a traveling partner and she gets to sample all the local quilt…

    Push-up #5: Pushing forward

    So these sections of pieced strips have been hanging on my design wall for a couple weeks now, mocking me, taunting me, begging me to get my head in gear and cut them to pieces. I ignored them this morning while I did a multitude of other small tasks, but no longer. I am announcing…

    I spent a wonderful time with the Goodtime Quilters of Circleville, Ohio this past week. Thursday morning, I was invited to show a PowerPoint presentation and trunk show of my own quilts.

    Last night I had the priviledge of speaking at the Ohio Valley Quilters’ Guild in Cincinnati. I always love the opportunity to show my quilts and encourage people to experiment with new ways of creating great quilts.

    Last night I had the great pleasure of sharing my quilts with the Columbus Modern Quilt Guild. In fact, I was having so much fun, I completely forgot to take pictures! They’ve only been meeting for a year now, so they are a small group and I was their first speaker, and it was a…
