Best of Show - Carson Valley Quilt Show

I had a delightful time judging this show.  This is just one of the many exquisite quilts displayed.

I had to go home and make a quilt!

Bleu Barn Studios

I'm underway with my new entity: Bleu Barn Studios, a forum for quilts, designing and scrumptious finds.

Tessellations

Well...we are underway on the book.  The prototype quilts are coming nicely along and I am totally loving the serpentine shapes.  

East meets West - Mausummery Lawn

I just signed with Mausummery Textiles.  I'm really excited to work with them.  This will be a completely different type of textile designing compared to the quilting realm.  It will be very interesting.  I love the color palettes they are letting me play with - Check out "Mausummery Lawn" online for exquisite cotton fabrics.

Doodle-a-day motif

This is a section from the doodles I did this weekend.

Super fun playing in Illustrator.

TA DA...My new quilting studio

I'm finally put back together and ready to get stitchin!  

Doodle-a-day

This is fantastic.  I have a design group I meet with monthly.  We challenged each other to doing 1 doodle-a-day and turning it into a motif at the very least, and hopefully creating an entire design from that 1 doodle.   It reminds me of piano lessons back in the day when I had to do the dozen a day scale series.  It only takes a few minutes and definitely hones your skills.  Lovin' it!
