We got here safe and sound - despite the weather. Last night I got to play and did I ever play!!!! Perhaps financially I should have stayed in the Bernina booth the whole time. It is AMAZING what a gal can spend in a matter of minutes! If you happen to be at festival you will find me in the Bernina booth Friday afternoon and Sat. mid day. Stop by and say, "its a new day!".

Not only did I get to hang out with Jill and Henry yesterday at Pine Needles, but my buddy Heidi Kaisand was also there! We go a WAY long WAY back. I first met Heidi at Sisters OR about 15 years ago. I have watched her career with great admiration but more importantly have watched her family grow! Last year, to this day, the girls were born , thats right - twins! Big brother Henry probably has his hands full! Happy birthday Virgina and Goldie - and many more!

And what a day it has been - many of you were here to celebrate Pine Needle's new store. And WOW - it is a beauty. On top of a bunch of very happy people AND a sparkling new store, Chloe received a bernina for her 8th birthday AND I got to meet Winnie who is 100 years young. This was an incredible day in Cedar Rapids, IA.
The new address is 1,000 Old Marion Rd, NE Cedar Rapids. 319-373-0334.
BTW: Don't mention this to Jill, but this is Henry's store!

Looking for a source for simple quilting and appliqué patterns? A child’s coloring book—with its large, simple line drawings—can be a great resource! Toss some of your favorite pages into that idea folder you started

Here again is the Quilt Show name badge logo. You can print it, embroider it, paint it, or applique it. Just remember to put your screen name in the bottom blue area. This is a great way to find other TQS members while attending shows. What fun it will be when someone sees your badge and says, "Hey, It's a New Day!"
To print the badge, click here. Then, simply print the page and cut it out with scissors.

It's time to pack up again. First off to Pine Needles in Iowa for their grand opening of their new store! I KNOW a bunch of you will be there - I can't wait to meet you! If not at Jill's then how about Festival in Chicago? I will be in the Bernina booth Friday afternoon and Saturday until about 2:00. In all cases be sure to wear your TQS badge. It's a New Day Every Day!

Sooner or later, we all draw a “design” blank when working on a quilt-in-progress…or starting something new. Perhaps it’s inspiration for the color scheme (or an accent color), or an appliqué design, or a suitable quilting motif that has you stumped. Maybe it’s the entire theme you’d like to capture, or direction you’d like your quilt to take.
Start an “idea file” today by tossing colorful postcards, magazine photos, doodles and drawings, advertisements, and other interesting bits and pieces into a special manila file folder…and add to it regularly. You’ll have inspiration at your fingertips when you are ready to begin your next quilting project…or are stymied by the one in progress.

It is Sunday afternoon and now it is play time! Combining my love of "neutrals" and improvisational work - a quilt is starting to take form - design, redesign, audition, redesign - here is a sneak peek of quilt art play in action! (in Series 3, I will show you how to do these strippy thingies that I learned from Jean Wells).
