Sunbonnet Sue Lecture

Wednesday, October 6th I'll be speaking at the Eastern Long Island Quilter's guild. I'm adding depression era quilts into my usual lecture about Sunbonnet Sue. I'll be focusing more on quilts of the 1930. Check out the venue for the lecture at the guild's website .

The following week I'll be traveling to New Jersey to speak to the Love apple quilters. If you are in the area for either lecture, stop by and say hello! My lecture in New Jersey is on the History of Sunbonnet Sue and will take place on Tuesday, October 12th.

Light the Night Walk - 2010

My Mom and my good friend Gayle have leukemia. On October 7th, 2010, I walking with the team "Shooting stars for Gayle" to raise money for cancer research. Please consider donating as little as $5.00 to cancer research. It would really help my team! Here is the link to the Luekemia and Lymphoma Society's website to make the donation!

Baby Quilt finished

I made a baby quilt and actually finished it in time for the shower! I started it yesterday and finished it today. I even had time to sew one of the quilt blocks to a tote bag. I love to give my baby quilt in a matching bag. I simply take a purchased tote bag and sew one of the extra blocks onto the outside.

The tote makes for a nice place to store the quilt and the new mom can take it anywhere.

I modified the pattern from a 9-patch and friendship star pattern that was in the book "Quilting Along with Emilie Richards". I copied the soft colors and layout of the quilt in the book. Click here to see the book I used.
