Did I say that I would try to stop starting new projects? I'm sure that it's in writing somewhere but, oh well, I am having too much fun learning new techniques and playing with fabric!
read moreMore often than not, quilt guild workshops are on weekdays and are not conducive to those of us not yet retired from our day jobs. But when the guild arranged a two-part workshop with Gloria Loughman on two weekends (9/11 and 9/18), I wasted no time and signed up for it.
I bought the recommended pattern and downloaded the instructions. I watched the videos and read the downloaded pattern sheets. That was in July.
Come September, I am buried deep in Island Batik October Challenge. It has been rather all-consuming.

read moreVergangenes Jahr im Juni hatte ich mich mit der Vorbereitung für einen Patchwork Kurs im BERNINA Creative Center in Steckborn beschäftig. Ich hatte die große Hoffnung, dass Corona mich im Januar in die Schweiz fahren lässt und ich dann den Teilnehmern zeigen kann, wie man diesen Quilt arbeitet....
Ich weiß, dass war zu diesem Zeitpunkt schon vollkommen überflüssig, darauf zu hoffen.... Mir war aber wichtig, weiterhin die Disziplin aufzubringen und die Vorbereitung für diesen Workshop zu erledigen. Das war auch so ein Ding seit letztem Jahr.... Diszipliniert zu bleiben, obwohl das schon in diesen Tagen alles andere als motiviert war ...
read moreI've really been enjoying connecting with guilds on Zoom. I recently joined the Ocean Waves Quilt Guild in Lewes, DE to share my Rules and Options of Planned Improv Piecing lecture and teach All About Angles. This workshop is one of my Planned Improv workshops where I present a technique and set of rules to follow, with lots of options for students to make the composition their own. From fabric choices to color placement, sizes and angles of cutting, and other unique twists, I love that everyone's finished projects look unique in the end. Here are the progress ...
read more My last finished quilt of 2020 is called Safari Tango. It might be the first true double-sided quilt I've ever made. The front was started in an online (Zoom) workshop with Diane Harris, The Stash Bandit, hosted by Ninigret Quilters. She calls her pattern Twofer Tango because you could get two quilts from your effort. The half square triangle units are bonus blocks from the creation of the main X-blocks. I chose to add mine around the border instead of harboring yet another UFO!
Last Saturday, I taught a workshop for my guild, making the shine block and quilt. I am inspired by other's choices.

Ich gebe so wahnsinnig gerne Workshops! Das Jahr hat mir aber ordentlich einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht... In der Quiltmanufaktur musste ich ab März alle geplanten Kurse absagen. Der Platz ist einfach zu gering, als dass ich für das nötige Hygiene Konzept sorgen kann. Die Vorstellung, dass sich meine Kunden hier unter solchen Umständen anstecken, lässt es mir kalt den Rücken runter laufen!
Umso schöner, das ich Anfang des Monats zu einem Workshop in die Schweiz zu BERNINA reisen durfte. Ich hatte im Januar einen neuen Workshop konzipiert, bei dem es um Verschnitt Technik geht. Den Kurs habe ich ...
read moreIt's been 100 days since Quiltcon 2020 in Austin. 100 days since we hugged new and old friends, stood in lines (close together!), ate tacos in crowded restaurants, chatted with vendors with no masks and thought nothing of it. 100 days since I sat in a classroom at the convention center with new and old friends and learned to do Korean Bojagi from Daisy Aschehoug.

When you make the this project you can make TWO other projects at the same time. It all has to do with how you make the quilt.
This is a perfect time of year for this project. Keep one project for yourself and the other 2 can be gifts!
I went to a workshop Saturday with my quilt guild. There was about 25 of us and we did two projects. We made a handy basket and an easy 15 minute table runner. It was a lot of fun and I plan on making a lot more so I can use up some of my scraps. I've done the table runner before and it is fun and quick to make. It is the table runner by Utah State and there is a link on the right side of my blog down below.
