I've been working on.....Convergence and MORE!

Here is my latest 'finish'. A Convergence Bed Runner.






This is so timely because my home guild, the Victoria Quilters' Guild, hosted Ricky Tims for a one-day event on Tuesday. Convergence was Ricky's first published pattern.



We had an amazing day of education, stories, inspiration and music.  Thank you again Ricky Tims for coming to our Guild.


The Bed Runner is a 'companion' piece to this wallhanging that I designed and made several years ago. I'm still finalizing some of the quilting designs and then I will bind it with the dark gray fabric....


PS - these 2 pieces will be For Sale sometime in early June!

It's going to be a PARTY!

This weekend is International Quilting Weekend (March 18-20, 2016) and it is time for a PARTY.

I have blocked time on Sunday to work on a few projects that have been languishing in my studio. How convenient that my DH has booked a golf game!

What will you be doing this weekend?  How about learning about quilters and their quilts?

The Quilt Show is celebrating too. Here is the letter they sent me to share with you:







Big news here! In honor of International Quilt Day (March 19, 2016), The Quilt Show (www.thequiltshow.com), the web TV show hosted by Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims, will "open" all of its shows from the first seventeen series--that is, from show 100 through show 1713--for the entire weekend of March 18 –20. That means that—for three special days—everyone will have the chance to view these 221 shows, featuring some of the quilting world’s leading artists, for FREE. 

As you may already know, I appeared as the featured artist on TQS in Show #309. If you didn't have the opportunity to see this show first time around, now you'll have the chance to see it—and so many other terrific shows—at no cost in this unprecedented three-day offer.

I hope that you'll share this information with all of your quilting friends. It's a fantastic opportunity
to enjoy three days of learning and fun without leaving your home…all for free.


Enjoy the shows, and spread the word to all your friends!


ADDED BONUS!  
There will be PRIZES to be won - over $11,000 worth of cool stuff like: 
Fabric, Books, Mats, Rulers, a GO! cutter and the Grand Prize: a BERNINA 570QE!
