New Free Video

 Oh, wow!  I have a lot of catching up to do.  I just realized I haven't posted anything since March!  I promise I haven't given up on quilting.  It continues to be my therapy!!!  Here is what I've been up to...

 I just downloaded another free instructional video:  "How Should I Quilt This, Snowball Quilt."  You can find it in the video list on the right of my blog or click HERE.

This is a photo of the quilt.

Here are photos of some of the friends I've met at my Wooden Bridge classes.  These are finished quilts from the El's Kitchen Sampler class that we just finished in May.

Don't forget to check out my list of upcoming classes!

Class Announcements

 First of all, we still have spaces available in the two classes we are teaching at Hoover's Bernina in Mifflinburg next week.  We start our Underground Railroad block-of-the-month class on Monday, March 20, and it will meet six times to complete a sampler quilt.

On Tuesday, March 21, we will be offering a Machine Quilting with Rulers class, focusing on Amanada Murphy's "Every Circle Ruler" set.  Here is a photo of the class sample.

     

We always have a good time at Hoovers!

New Instructional Video and Inspiring Photos

 Hi friends, I just added a new "How do I quilt this" video to the Instructional Videos menu on the right.  You can also find this video by clicking HERE.  

I have also added some photos below from some of my classes.  I have met so many wonderful people during my travels through the quilting world.  This is a sample from the Valley Forge Quilt Guild:

Fun at Wooden Bridge

 Last week I had the privilege of teaching two Rulerwork Quilting classes at Wooden Bridge Dry Goods and Fabric Store.  Two fun groups of ladies.  I hope they learned something too!!!

Valley Forge Homestead Quilt Guild

 I had the privilege of speaking at the Valley Forge Homestead Quilters guild on July 19.  They are a wonderful group of talented ladies.  And to top it off, I just happened to visit on the evening of their ice cream social!

 After the business meeting and my presentation, I got to see their show-n-tell.  It was wonderful.  They are all preparing for their Quilt Show.  Anyone who is planning to attend is in for a big treat!  Here are the details:

Baby Nora and Donna

Just delivered this quilt to "Baby Nora" on her first birthday.  She is so sweet, and I hope that she will love this quilt as much as I loved making it for her.  It has minky on the back and of course it has a silky binding.  I pray for much love and happiness for this precious little girl.

This quilt was completed by one of my students, Donna.  We had to postpone the class because of Covid, so she decided to give it a try on her own.  She did a great job!!!  Thanks for sharing, Donna.

Oldie but Goodie

 I just finished this table runner.  I probably started it about six years ago!  My cousin, Kelly, finished hers, but mine got put aside for some deadline, and never made it back out to my top-ten list until recently.  I still love it, and it feels so good to finish up an "oldie but goodie."  Just in time to use it on my picnic table this summer!

Follow up from Ruler Workshop and a New How-Do-I-Quilt-This Video

Hi Quilting Friends...here are some pictures from the ruler workshop that Kelly and I led last weekend.  Lots of fun and laughs, and hopefully everyone was inspired to try quilting with rulers at home.  Keep an eye on this blog for a list of future classes.

You can also find my latest How-Do-I-Quilt-This video (Wall Hanging) HERE or by looking in the Instructional Video Menu on the right.

 I'm not sure how I missed posting this quilt.  In August and September of 2021, I quilted this quilt for a dear friend.  She pieced it as a wedding gift to her son and daughter-in-law.  The bride and groom, Isabelle and Adam, picked the pattern and fabrics, Donna pieced the quilt top and I had the pleasure of quilting it.  Donna used the "Easy Piped Binding" to bind it.  Check it out in the close-up photo.  I think this is one of my favorite quilts.   I hope it brings them lots of love and comfort.

New Instructional Videos

Hi friends! I have posted two new instructional videos for you all to enjoy. I have embedded the links below and as always you can find them in the "Instructional Videos" section on the right.

How Should I Quilt This - Halloween Baltimore

How To - Easy Piped Binding for Quilts

 I just finished this little wallhanging.  It was hand appliqued a couple of years ago, and I finally got around to quilting it.  The binding is an easy piped-binding.  I am just finishing up a free instructional video to show you how I do this.  It should be posted in the next couple of days.

 I have posted a new video which you can find HERE or by clicking on the link in the "Instructional Videos" in the right hand menu.  This is my take on "How do I quilt this baby quilt."  This quilt was made for sweat little Julia.   I think she really likes it, ha ha ha.

How Do I Quilt This - Large Quilt

 I have completed the second quilt in my "How Do I Quilt This?" series.  It is a queen-size quilt that I will be giving to some dear friends as a thank you gift for some repairs they did to our cabin (which is where this photo was taken). 
The video is available in the column on the right, and it is titled "How Do I Quilt This - Large Quilt".  My goal with these videos is to provide some quilting ideas and inspiration to get some of your unfinished quilts completed.

(Check back soon, I am almost ready to post a video on an adorable baby quilt.)
