I Finished the Mystery Quilt!!



This was our mystery quilt from the OIPG retreat at Okuma... lots of little pieces... it's amazing how such a small quilt can take SOOOOO long to piece!! I got it all done at the retreat and then it sat in my UFO pile just waiting for me to put on the binding and finish it...

Another Stack & Whack!


At our class on Saturday, I worked on a new Stack & whack Pattern... I've had the focus fabric waiting for this pattern for quite awhile.... I find the quilt bold and busy -- hopefully the border will calm it down a bit!! :)

Fuji Kaleidescope Update


Making progress on this one! I've added borders... now I just need to get it layered and quilt it!!

Display Pieces for the Shop


I'm going to open a quilt shop in early 2008 and have started to hunt for unique and wonderful display pieces for the shop. I found this set at a bazaar last weekend. I think they'll be perfect and versatile!

These pieces are made of elm wood and are about 110 years old. They originate from the Shandong Province.

Quilting Sensai


I'll be teaching this quilt at our next Okinawa International Patchwork Guild workshop on 9 June. It's an easy quilt to put together and turns out great, I think!

A Quilt for a Princess


This quilt is for my oldest grand-niece, Avery... she's 5 years old, and quite the "girly-girl"... She has a "princess room" at her grandparents' house, so I thought this would be PERFECT for her!
