One of the local hospitals is in need of preemie quilts. They are looking for flannel quilts 3-4 feet in size with no batting. Our Bernina club decided to get together one evening last month and see how many quilts we could put together.

Meeting Robbi Joy Eklow
Robbi came to speak at our quilt guild last month and to teach her Free Expression Buffet class. We got to see a history of her I wanted to take her class because I heard her classes are fun and I already had all of the supplies I needed for the class.
Office triptych
I was commissioned by Bill to create a triptych for his office. Actually it started out as a single panel, but as the discussion progressed it turned into a triptych with a single color connecting the panels visually.
BOM Finished
Well, It has taken almost a year, but the BOM that I finished the blocks on last March is finally completed. I have set a goal for this March to finish 4 projects. I have quite a few unfinished projects in my closet that are all more than a year old and that is just [...]
Emily’s Quilt

Heart Quilt
Several friends and I decided to make a quilt with a heart theme for a friend. We asked everyone to create an 8 inch finished block. Today 3 of us got together to assemble the quilt. I dyed several colors for the borders and sashing. It is hard to pick a color to go with [...]
Scrap Quilt Class
Last week I took a class with Nancy Brenan Daniel. I signed up at the last minute and didn’t really know what to expect, but I had a great time. We started with strip sets and cut them at an angle. This resulted in two different squares, a light and a dark.
Part of this class [...]
