American Quilt Society in Nashville

This old hen has been invited to teach at Nashville in August. I am teaching several classes on my patterns and one on the longarm. I am so excited and honored. My good hen friend Colleen is traveling with me and will keep me organized and on target. If any of you are going to be there be sure to be a good egg and stop by. Looking forward to quilting in Nashville.

Scrapples

Scraps and Purple. This is my newest quilt pattern and is available for $7.00 which includes postage. Scraps, scraps and all of them purple. This would be beautiful as a color wash with florals. So many ideas and so little time. Simple piecing technique to create a smashing queen size quilt. Various sizes included.

Scrappy Trails to You


This pattern based on the old and favorite Trip Around the Worldis featured on the cover of Strip Addiction. The featured quilt is made all from scraps and I amazed myself with the rings that emerged. Last June at our quilt retreat several quilters made their own Scrappy Trails with their own color ways and designing.
