Something next to magical has happened - I think I have NAILED machine quilting - and how do I know this? I can stitch straight lines WITHOUT my walking foot - OH MY GOODNESS - (and yes I am shouting with joy) - A whole new world of possibilities has just presented itself.....happy dancing with glee in my heart - I will be posting the blocks as they are finished here. In the end we will put together a smile box for you on this site. Guest- Nancy Brown (yet to air)

I am having a BLAST machine quilting! When did this switch of paradigm happen??? Perhaps when I got the 830 in my hands. As I concentrate on each TQS guest block, I am flooded with great memories of our rich history.  Now it's time for some rock and roll...........Any suggestion?

Ricky's Satay is really good, BUT you can make my salad, and in no time be back to quilting (no trip to the store needed for coconut milk in addition to trashing your kitchen!) - Vote for my Black Bean Salad - It is super DUPER easy to make and a crowd pleaser everytime! Go TEAM ALEX!!!!!! Vote for my salad TODAY right here.

Just a heads up that I will be at the AQS show in knoxville this summer. when I am not teaching or lecturing (please check schedule to enroll) you will find both Jan Magee and myself in The Quilt Life booth - be sure to wear your TQS badge and holler "it's a New Day" when you see another TQS member! Raise your hand if you are coming.

Both Ricky and I will be at this year's quilt show in Sisters, Or (second Saturday of July). They have all sorts of really cool things up their sleeves - but one in particular is the post card silent auction. The proceeds will be going to Wendy's Wish, a Breast Cancer fund. Anyone interested in mine?
