How much do you enjoy improv piecing? Here’s a new opportunity to LOVE it. I speak to people and groups all over this region and have found that traditional quilters who don’t like improv quilts just don’t “get it” and either hate them or are afraid of them. So I decided to offer this improv

So, I told you about the CQG meeting way back on the third of this month. I also told you about the whole friendship fabric collection that Ingrid gave me after their road trip. I have not worked on those blocks since that last post. C’est la vie! (That’s life!) Before I show you all

It’s been such a long while since I was last able to meet with my wonderful friends in the Cotton Quilters’ Guild. Precisely July of 2022! I really missed them all and, apparently, they also missed me. Not surprisingly, I definitely felt the love! Everyone, it seemed, had a Show and Tell item. Including me

I can’t tell you much about the CQG meeting last Monday because I wasn’t there. I WAS just down the street at work. It’s killing me! I have two more meeting before school ends, so come the summer… Anyway, I did get photos to upload on the FaceBook page, so check out what my friends
