72 Wonderful Hours of MQX!

Ronald's Flight received two ribbons at MQX in New Hampshire!

He won the

"Faculty Award" from Candace West

and the "Founders Award" from Lisa Shelke

Crazy thing is that Ronald is taking his Certified Pilots Teachers License this week!

And will be teaching up and down the east coast this summer!

Here

is the form that hung with his quilt!

I am so... Thankful I received Ronald as one of my sons!

I was so... happy that my mom was able to be there with me!

With Mary Schilke!

The Swedish Double Chain did not receive any ribbons however

I was honored to have two quilts in this event.

My mom and I!

I was able to take a few wonderful classes, one was from Bethanne Nemesh and
another from Karen Machetti.

Here is a few of Bethanne's quilts!

The detail is just amazing!

Also took a fantastic class with Judy Madsen.
Do you recognize the quilt behind me from the cover of her book?

Here are my buddies!

My mom and Sherrie from Jersey Shore Modern Quilt Guild

Sherri is also a Nolting longarm quilter.

Diane the founder of the Jersey Shore Modern Quilt Guild
Diane is starting to apply her talent to L/A quilting as well!

Sherri with her beautiful quilt that was in the show.

And Nancy that I recently meet at QuiltCon in Austin a few weeks ago!
Nancy is also a professional longarm quilter.

What I left knowing!

Taking a chance is worth it.

Support from family and friends--is the best.

Being open to new things has so many rewards.

If you keep searching you find your path.

We Are Off!

Right about now we are traveling or pulling into MQX in Manchester New Hampshire.

After reading about this show for years, I always wondered if I my quilts could make it in!

Well they did.....and not only one-- but two did!

You can see them here and here.

This month it will be more of a challenge to get the simplest projects done. The next 5 months require me to be prepared if I am to accomplish anything fibery. So I have been prepping for upcoming challenges, retreats, gifts and quilting for customers.

This month I am going easy on myself. My goal is to finish this baby quilt that will be a gift as soon as it is done!

What Caught My Eye!

Coconut Macaroon Nests - perfect for Easter

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! this YouTube video!

Other than quilting I am into this and this. I highly enjoyed so much I have listen to them several times.

Don't you just get a rush when there is that one little something that makes quilting life easier. Check out this wonderful nugget!

Here is the recipe for the Coconut Macaroon Nests.

Inspiration comes in many ways! This mother and daughter team takes turns posting what they find inspiring all the while hosting a weekly linking party. I have discovered many inspiring posts from them and others they have linked. Here is one I ended up doing!

Awhile back I stumbled onto Judy's blog and we have since shared many words . She is one heck of a domestic free motion quilter and she recently posted this YouTube on her blog showing you how to bury threads. Enjoy!
