June Cotton Quilters Meeting
I completely missed posting about the June Cotton Quilters meeting. That means I also need to post the July meeting, which was very different and fun! But back to June and our show and share.

A la Mary Improv and More!
The Sew Crazy Quilters of Leesville, La, hired me to teach improv quilting early last month. You cannot imagine how much fun it is to teach traditional quilters how to let go of everything they’ve known for 20 years. They are a happy group of ladies. Full of smiles and laughter and good vibes. Oh,
Pin It Weekly #365 Red and White
Welcome to PIW, the week of red and white quilts! I have over 60 quilts on the “red and white” section of my “heart, quilts” board. This is just a small taste. Apologies, I was not able to find information on these last two, but they are too pretty to not include. Of course, choosing
GSQA Show and Quilt Winners!
The Gulf States Quilt Association, which covers Louisiana, Missippi, Alabama, and Florida, had its biennial show last weekend. What a fun experience! I decided to drive down to Slidell on Wednesday and spend the afternoon helping out. Since my friend Lori was kind enough to offer a hotel room for the night, I was prepared
Pin It Weekly #362 Ten Map Quilts
I’ve been thinking of map quilts for a few weeks now. I don’t know what does that….put my mind on a subject. I do know that when that “on a subject” occurs, I am stuck with it for a while. Links to continue your reading and viewing. These map quilts are all on my “maps”

Cajun Country Comes to the City

A Painting in Baton Rouge and One in Texas
Those are magnolia painting sales. I decided put my magnolia painting at the Bluebonnet Swamp Spectactular (exhibit) in Baton Rouge. I entered a cotton painting last year, which sold. This exhibit features “work from local artists in the fields of Fabric Arts, Fine Arts and Photography – focusing on the theme ‘Impressions of Louisiana Nature’.”
Pin It Weekly #359 Quilty Followers
Say hello to Rebecca Budde, one of our new quilty followers, who has a board just for string quilts. Yes, some of these will soon be on my “heart, quilts” board! A surprise for me, this board is almost at 14,000 pins. Though I imagine a few are duplicates. Next, these modern quilts are from
The (Nervous) Joy of Quilting for a Friend
Don’t we all have that one friend? You know, the one who brings great joy and laughter into your life. But that same one has well defined reasons for everything. Imagine quilting for that one will tell you in a second where to get off, how to go and what to do when you get
