Buzzing with Quilters.
This hotel had been buzzing with Quilters for the past 10 days… 3 separate groups have set up in the conference room, machines whirring late into the night.There is a tray of pastries (or maybe donuts) on the bench, and the conversation flows as sweet as the fresh brewed coffee. Our retreat was first, next…
Gallery of photos and a forest illustration
I've been practicing with my new camera…. Hmmmmm, I've not mastered it yet. Today I went to the National Park with friends…. I took my camera and macro lens and I got some interesting shots… the young men with me also took some of the photos, it was a bit different to using a point…
I touched everything.
I left my hotel in Grayling just after 9.00 this morning and headed the red beast towards Saginaw about 110 miles away. I was off to visit friend Beth Ferrier. 101.9 country set the mood as I traveled along the free way. "Don't think twice it's alright" Randy Travis's dulcet tones set the pace. Deep…
Quilt History.
I'm delighted to introduce this great magazine, QuiltmaniaIt has some very interesting articles and one in particular, Inlaid Patchwork in Europe from 1500 to present.I've been studying the technique for many years, it's quite a difficult technique.My quilt, 1776, Heartache, Heritage and Happiness, was re-created from an inlaid applique quilt made in 1776 in Prussia.

11.00 pm, it's been a delightful day today. Class was enthusiastic and the projects are coming along really well. Some folk are here from Canada and Pennsylvania… We attended the start of the Annual Canoe Race. 99 teams were entered from all over the world. They will race right through the night and the oldest…
A grand event.
