It Never Rains in California... April 28, 2010
I recently designed a fun and easy quilt for Hoffman California Fabrics called California Rain. This pattern is free to anyone by going to the Hoffman California Fabric site. Sandi M. has made the quilt using beautiful batiks and they look spectacular!
If you would like a copy of California Rain click on the picture of Sandi's quilt. It takes a few moments to download so just be patient!

Mini Trunk Show and Demos in Nanaimo B.C. January 18, 2012
It was my pleasure to visit two quilt shops in Nanaimo, B.C. this past week, Snip and Stitch and Serge and Sew. I did demos on two table runner and placemat sets thanks to the sponsorship of N. Jefferson Ltd. in Vancouver.
The Making Waves pattern twists Hoffman California Bali Pop strips into a series of gentle watery waves. Spin Off, another pattern, is named after those old 45 records. Spin Off connects circles to make runners that fit any shape of table.
It was great to share my mini trunk show with all the gals who attended. Who could have guessed that I could have crammed so many quilts in one suitcase! Thanks everyone for a really great time.
