My recipe in the new Quilter’s Cookbook! Imagine that!

| December 7, 2010

Did you order a cookbook from Quilting Gallery last year? If not, order this year’s edition. Hurry to pre-order and the cost is only $8. You can’t buy a cookbook for $8! I submitted one of my families favorites, Skillet Balls! They are coconut covered candies you just pop into your mouth.

In addition to the recipes, submissions included a quilt photo and a story about the quilt. I know you’ll enjoy reading about quilts, not to mention the good food you can create!

Click on the cookbook graphic and you’ll be set to order
and find out more info about the cookbook.

I was visiting Lindsay’s blog www.mequilting.com the other day and she posted this great IPhone app from Robert Kaufman Fabrics!

I immediately downloaded the app for my IPhone. If you haven’t seen it yet, here are a couple of screen shots from my phone:

Thanks for your post Lindsay!

New lecture & workshop announced!

| January 14, 2010

Those of you reading this probably already have a blog, but many of our fellow quilters are a bit timid when it comes to setting up a blog. It is in response to this need that I’ve developed a new lecture and workshop to reach those quilters wanting a little help in joining the blogging community.

This is a pic of the website page, “lectures“. When you visit the page, just click on the buttons on the images to watch the movies I’ve made to let you know a little bit about what to expect from the lecture.

Lectures are just the tip of the iceberg, and the true learning comes from the workshops. This pic is from the page “workshops“.

My thoughts from so many years of teaching college students:

Lectures provide teachers an opportunity to share.

Teachers provide students an opportunity to grow.

Students provide teachers an
opportunity to teach.

If you provide the
opportunity,
I’ll share.

Quilting Clip Art

| October 22, 2009

Are you a quilter looking for clip art for your patterns or for your website? I’m a busy quilt pattern designer as you may be, but I may be of some help with clip art. Here is a rotary cutter I’ve drawn and I’m using on my patterns. It was drawn in Adobe Illustrator, and as a vector graphic, you can enlarge or reduce it without fear it will look bitmapped.

rotarycutterIf you are interested in using the rotary cutter (without the background color) just post and I’ll send it to you. It’s FREE! Also, if you are in need of other quilting graphics please let me know. I’d like to form a list of generic quilting graphics we could all use for various quilting projects.
