Three facts: I started this quilt long, long ago on the first ever LA Modern Quilt Guild retreat. I promised it to a friend shortly thereafter. I’m very bad at finishing and gifting quilts. Very bad. This quilt was my first time working on the technique for Half Rectangle Triangles (HRT’s) that I wrote up for the Modern Quilt Guild …
“LAMQG Hearts KATIE” Quilt
(If you’re looking for the GIVEAWAY DAY post click here!) _____________________________ I can’t take credit for this quilt. I was one of many LA Modern Quilt Guild members who participated in making this quilt a reality. An officer for three and a half years and one of the founding members of our guild Katie A. is moving out of state …
Shhh. . . Baby Quilt and Ball
OK. This will be one of the many quilts that I’ll be posting about that I’ve made in the last year or so. This one was a quickie. Well, sorta. Last year the LA Modern Quilt Guild was lucky enough to host Elizabeth Hartman of the blog Oh, Fransson! I don’t take many classes but, wanted to take one with …
Shopping List Tote Bag
You may have seen the grocery bag and produce bags I made for the LAMQG Tote Swap. Well, look what I got during the swap! Total SCORE! It was made by the fabulous Lori L the Secretary of the LAMQG and a very good friend. I realized I hadn’t shared any pictures and wanted to do so before it got …
Life before the MQG. . .
Sometimes, I sit and try to remember what my life was like before the Modern Quilt Guild. It’s only been 2, almost 3 years since we started the LA chapter but, it is such a part of my life that it seems like it’s always been there. Good friends, great outings, weekends away, shoulders to cry on, laughing till it …

Mini Quilts – Kelli’s Mini Quilt
We have such fun and amazing swaps at the LA Modern Quilt Guild. I haven’t blogged about many of the yummy quilts and gifts I’ve received. So this week, I’m going to play catch up! We’ll start with the oldest first. 🙂 Now, please don’t ask me how long ago I got this cutie but, it has been hanging on …
Mini Quilts – Jagged Little Pill
This is a project that was finished last year – like six months ago – that I never posted! It was made for the LAMQG Mini Quilt Swap. It was a random swap so everyone that brought a mini quilt pulled a wrapped package from the table. My little quilt was pulled by Kelli and guess who’s quilt I pulled? …
I’m NOT the only weird one. . .
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, …
