To celebrate my new blog and thank my followers I will be giving away this beautiful fat quarter collection on July 9th, 2014.


I’ve started a blog.  It’s a forum for quilting thoughts and hopefully inspiration.  I want to invite all my friends, fellow quilters and colleagues to stop by and check it out and I welcome your comments.  It’s still a work in progress so please be kind.  As an incentive to stop by, follow my blog and comment, I will be giving away a fat quarter collection to one lucky follower, picked at random.  So make sure to follow and leave a short message so I know where to find you.  Winner will be posted July 9th, 2014.

The Row by Row Quilt Shop Hop begins July 1st, 2014


The Row by Row Experience National Shop Hop.

Get ready to explore quilt shops this summer across the nation.  If you’re traveling around the country and are a quilter,  you’ll be interested to know that a huge amount of quilt shops will be participating in a national Shop Hop. 

For those that don’t know me, I also own The Village Quilt Shoppe in Lake Orion, MI.  Our shop will also be a part of this fun and exciting hop.  We are ready to go.  Our samples are up and the patterns are printed.

Each participating shop has designed a 36”row depicting the seasons.  Either all the season or just one.  The pattern is free to all shop hoppers.  The rows can be viewed on facebook on the official page,  Row by Row Michigan is where you’ll find ours or on our facebook page, The Village Quilt Shoppe.

Come on and join the fun.  It’s going to be fun!

Above are a few of the many quilts I have made lately.  As I learn how to blog I hope to share many more.  I love color and texture and try to incorporate as much as I can in the work I do.
