January 13, 2009Good news! I am teaching again! I am taking advantage of the current economic slow down and doing what I really love to do -- QUILTING! I am now teaching private lessons in Pinellas County (Florida) to people who want to learn to quilt, but don't (yet) feel comfortable enrolling in traditional classes. If you are interested, I hope you will give me a call (727)741-4722. I am also returning to the custom made quilt business. I have really missed creating special memory quilts for my clients and I am very exciting about getting back into this specialty business. Please check out the gallery button on the left for examples of one-of-a-kind memory quilts created for some very special people. There are several venues for teaching in Florida so keep checking my Teaching Schedule for a class offered near you. Hope to see you in one of my classes soon! Happy Quilting in 2009,
February 16. 2009 Update Yippee!!! This weekend I finished my Santa Claus Quilt top. The quilt is based on a pattern by Nancy Hieronymus Barrett (with some revisions by yours truly). I began this quilt in 2005 along with several friends in my St. Josephs quilting group in Gulfport, Mississippi. Quite a few of the blocks were completed and hanging on the design wall in my quilting room when Hurricane Katrina hit. The blocks hanging down low had to be trashed after the water rose inside our house. The ones up high were packed up for safekeeping and have moved over 3000 miles to three different homes since 2005. Yesterday, the final borders went on. The extra wide backing was washed and pressed, so it is ready to mail off to be quilted. Hurrah!! One down, ten or twelve more UFO's (unfinished objects) to go!!
