Filling Your Bag of Tools

The Canyon Quilters worked on finishing up some great quilts yesterday, and as soon as I get home I'll be able to share some photos.

It really was a weekend filled with folks adding new tools and techniques to their Bag of Tools and creating some really fun, artful landscapes was just icing on the cake. Tonight I'm looking forward to giving a trunkshow at the guild's meeting.

Just wanted to remind you that there is one week left to follow me here or on my facebook fan page--and leave a comment on your favorite tool --- whether its one, two or many...
Then you'll be entered in the first of the Trail-Marker Give-Aways.

All leading up to the release of my new book in June!
Exploring Embellishments is all about creating artful quilts while learning about new, exciting materials and how to easily make them into wonderful embellishments!

I'm really enjoying & learning about all sorts of tools and their unexpected usefulness.

Canyon Quilters

It's a quiet Sunday morning and I'm enjoying the chirp of birds and view of the water from my window from where I am staying while in San Diego. Yesterday was a wild, fun day with a group of 20 members from Canyon Quilters. Nothing like the anticipation felt in the air as everyone pulls all their supplies out of their cars, wanders into the big empty room and scopes out the best seat.

That is how the morning started, and it just got better from there. They came with photos and sketches in hand of far away places and some much closer to home and by end of day these had been stitched into fabric landscapes.

Tops done, we will be couching, quilting & embellishing these today. So, in just a little while I'll be back to the rooms filled with old & new memories of Africa, Paris, Yosemite and local Palomar mountains..... wild, fun!

Hope your Sunday plans bring you peace & creative contentment.
