I had a wonderful night as guest speaker at the March 2015 meeting of the Orange County Quilters Guild. It was fabulous to see so many old friends.

As a member I know Orange County Quilters Guild is just marvelous but they sure take good care of their speakers.  

Many thanks to all who contributed to making the night such a success.

And after such a grand night I’m really looking forward to Saturday when I’m teaching my Baltimore album quilt. (See first picture)  You can choose any block to make and learn my fusible technique. If you’re interested here’s more info. Come and join us Saturday, March 14 at the Orange Quilt Bee for a wonderful day of quilting.

Thanks again to all who contributed to the evening’s success.

Have you seen my two latest patterns on Craftsy?  By popular demand, I have finally posted the pattern for my NextGen Quilt.  It is so easy to make this quilt! It looks very difficult with all those odd shapes but it is SIMPLE with no templates at all!

Irene made NextGen with lots of green as background. Isn’t it spectacular? NextGen adds just one step to the Magic 9-Patch pattern (which is also included in this pattern) to make this spectacular quilt.

Check out my NEXTGEN/Magic 9-Patch Pattern on Craftsy! 

Recently TLC Guild member JoAnne shared her LOGS! quilt she made in my Yorba Linda class.  Isn’t it wonderful in neutrals?  JoAnne left off the applique and it isn’t even missed! And the LOGS!  pattern is now available on my Craftsy site too!

My LOGS! pattern is sort of an encyclopedia of log cabin blocks…some old, some new, some I  just made up!

And that optional appliqué? It looks like it’s on the border but actually it’s added at the block stage. Check out the LOGS! pattern to see what I mean!
