That’s what I think when I’m with all the other amazing ladies (we haven’t had any men attend yet ;-)) that attend the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild meetings. I guess many of us quilters and crafters have always created alone. Of course the internet has opened up a wide community but, it’s nothing like being in person with people …
Going Potholder Crazy!
The Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild had a potholder swap for our December Holiday Gift Exchange. At first I wasn’t extremely excited but, when it came down to it I had an absolute blast. There was a problem though. We had to design ONE potholder. 🙁 One potholder? Are you serious? That was excruciating for me! So, instead of one, …
And the Winner Is. . .
Sorry for the delay! I ran the Random Number Generator yesterday but, didn’t finish with my post.

Flora & Fauna
So, I’m realizing that there’s something about me and black in quilts. Even when I do baby quilts – they tend to have a little black in them (or a lot). It’s not intentional. I guess that’s just what I’m drawn to. Especially when it is paired with bright rich contrasting colors. Ooooh! So, I guess that it should be …
