    Triangle Sherbet Quilt for Craftsy
    The Triangle Sherbet quilt is so much fun to put together. I made mine all in flannel, but this quilt would be wonderful in any grouping… How about starting with a group of Hoffman Batik fat quarters! Yum! It’s easy so it’s great for a beginner and also a quick go-to quilt for the more advanced quilter. The pattern is just 99 Cents!

    Hourglass Quilt for Craftsy
    The HourGlass quilt is made up of scrappy reds with black and white accents. Or maybe you’d like it in Lime Greens… Sunflower Yellows or Bright Blues! Using a slick HourGlass trick and lots of scraps, you’ll soon have a fabulous quilt.  Just 99 Cents!

    Thanks again to Night Owls Quilt Guild!

  • Pine Needles Quilt Guild in Wrightwood

    Pine Needles Quilt Guild in Wrightwood

    I had a great time last night visiting the Pine Needles Quilt Guild up in Wrightwood. This quaint little town has a thriving guild that meets on the second Tuesday of the month. I was honored to be their speaker last night.


    Check out these fabulous quilts that were part of their show and tell. Absolutely stunning and there were more that I didn’t even get pictures of!  Pine Needles is an active guild with high participation in the San Bernadino County Fair, great attendance at their meetings, and a retreat coming up.  Another fun thing they do… In July, they have a picnic!  Isn’t that a great idea?

    Thanks so much to this wonderful guild and all of its kind quilters!
