I attended the Gulf States Quilt Association (GSQA) meeting in Long Beach, MS., so I’ll show you the few pics I took there. After all, a couple of weekend ago, I posted photos of the CQG Show and Share. I always enjoy visiting with the many acquaintances I’ve made over the years. Some of them, […]

Today, Wright’s work is still considered to be some of the best truly American architecture in the country. [My Modern Met] My sister Laura and her husband, Gary, just finished building a house on the land where we grew up in Plaucheville. It’s the cutest house built in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright, a famous

On my last post (here), I told you that I’ve begun another CASA quilt based on my novel, This World So Fierce. Two things are happening quickly. The first is that the sequel A World Alone is close to finished! Well, the writing part anyway. Never the less, I’m terribly excited about that. But this

Last week, I told you about this flimsy, my current project. It is based on Sandra Dallas’ novel, The Quilt Walk. In the story, Emmy Blue’s hand stitches a log cabin quilt as she travels west with her family in a wagon train. She sews the blocks, most reluctantly at first, as she walks alongside

Finally, what did I manage? Well, I completed one flimsy, to be Ryder’s quilt, that gave me fits every step of the way. In fact, I’m pretty sure my friends were tired of my whining. The story behind this quilt is a long one: as you may know, I spoiled our oldest granddaughter, to say

Cotton Quilters met last Monday, but we had a class before the meeting. Normally, this time (10-1) is used for free sewing and visiting, but last month Sheila shared with us a small bag she had made and offered to walk us through the steps. Of course, we jumped on the offer! Everyone made a

In my last post, about the Andy Warhol quilt, I wrote about one of my recent finishes. But there have been others, albeit small ones. As CQG president, I have to bring a door prize and, while I do purchase a few things, I also want to include something from my stash or that I’ve

The Baton Rouge Modern Quilt Guild has a challenge each year that I generally participate in. Not that I put much into it, but I do make an effort. I’m not a competitive person, so bragging rights go to someone else. I suppose I participate for the growth. Some of the topics have been difficult
