See you at the show!

Tommorrow and Friday I will demoing for Judy's Quilt and Sew at the Schaumburg Convention Center. It's a pretty good show, geared a bit more towards garment and home embroidery than the show at the Donald E in the spring. I will be in booth 514 so stop by and snicker at my Mr Microphone setup. Makes me feel like "Madonna"

On The Town Tote!!!

Wow, this is a great looking bag, and very simple really. Love the autumn-y fabrics and there are lots of pockets inside! Texture Magic is the perfect accent to really show off the great shape of this bag.

Tottling off to Tammy Tadd's Tomorrow...

I am going to be demoing product from 10-12 (and shopping) tomorrow (Nov. 7) at Tammy Tadd Designs in Sycamore. If you've never been there, GO! Tomorrow they are having a sample sale, with their fabulous samples that go out to all the stores starting at just $5! Talk about great timing for the holidays. See her shop and info here- http://www.tammytadddesigns.com/ . She was one of the shops featured in Quilt Sampler Mag, and rightly so! Hope to see you there! And say Hi! if you saw my blog!!!

I LOVE Peoria!

Wow, there are some awesome quilters in that area! There were about 130 attendees to their meeting, and they really liked me (or so they said! I have no reason not to believe them, lol) And they were also very smart, because they bought alot of patterns and Texture Magic! Seriously, they actually bought more of my intermediate patterns, most places I go, they only want the easy stuff. So-you go! you Peoria area quilters!!! Quilt on!!!

Serenity Tote Done!

I just finished this FAB sample for my trip to Peoria tomorrow. Although not the "cover fabric" I think any larger print with some movement is good. I followed the lines printed on the fabric with a layer of poly batting sandwiched between the Texture Magic and fabric and WOW! It is really interesting.

Peoria or Bust!

I am going to be lecturing (though I truly hate that term, more like entertaining) at the Gems of the Prairie Quilt Guild next Wednesday night, November 4th. I will be talking about "The Creative Process", or at least MY creative process, and will have a trunk show of about 35 quilts and my patterns will be for sale. You can get more info regarding the where and when at http://gemsoftheprairie.com/. I noticed today I am not listed (I was contracted rather late) but I promise I will be there! So, if you are anywhere in the neighborhood, please stop by and introduce yourself!

Goin' to Des Moines!

Put some gas in the Cavalier and let's go! My friend Rita and I are heading to the AQS show in Des Moines. My first AQS show, actually. I will be demoing Texture Magic at booth 0215, so stop by and say hi! I hope my ankle holds up, after having broken it last spring (in 3 places!) I am still not quite the same. Oh well, life happens.
