Welcome to my new site! I am so excited to finally have a professionally
done site that reflects who I am. Please be patient with me as I get all
the information loaded. I think you will be as excited as I am.
This is going to be a busy summer. I have 3 classes scheduled in Casa Grande, Arizona at Kokopelli Quilts. The first, a Quilt Mat is my variation on a tote initially designed by Fons and Porter. I think the changes I made make the tote easier to handle, and further protects your mat and ruler from damage. It works well even for the shorter quilter. The other 2 are quilts that I have designed and will be teaching for the first time. The Blue Plate Special quilt is a quick, beginner-friendly quilt that uses strip piecing and a variation in patch sizes for its impact. The Milky Way Quilt is a variation on the traditional Milky Way pattern, and is more for the confident beginner.
Horse show season is about to wind down, with only 1 more show in El Paso the beginning of May. Then we don't have anything until the end of August when we go up to the cool pines in Flagstaff.
Another project that I have taken on is to be on the board (treasurer actually) of HEART of Tucson. This is a new horse rescue organization in Tucson, and I have been amazed at the need for such an organization. I guess it's the bad economy, and some of it is just ignorance on the owner's part. A small part of it is just plain mean spiritedness. We already have 5 horses in our program, and we just started! We are now a 501(c)(3), so donations to the cause are tax deductible. If you would like to donate, please contact me and I will tell you how. We are working up a website and a way to donate online, but it's not ready yet.
Sooo, come join me on my journey through quilting and horses. Check on what I've completed, and I'll try to keep you up with what I'm designing and planning project-wise. Check out my calendar, too!
Have a great week!
