It all started with a prize from the Guild retreat. My ticket was called and I selected a little stack of fabrics that looked vintage. They were brightly colored and kind of stiff like a wax print. At first glance they looked like juvenile prints so I tucked them away for perhaps a donation quilt.
A little over a year ago I put my hands on them again and was inspired to do something with them.

In 2020, the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild’s community outreach focus was on giving small-ish quilts to children in the local foster care system. Given that we were not able to meet in person to sew collectively because of Covid-19, this was a project each quilter could do on their own and turn in. I’m proud to say our guild donated 100 quilts.

Hi there Guildies and Friends! Someone gave me the reins for Block of the Month. Look out! Or, look in! Depends on your perspective. We’re making windows.

Happy Earth Day 2019! This one has an odd name, I know. It was inspired by a picture of a person stacking rocks by a river. Others have seen a collection of those painted kindness rocks. It might also just be an interesting organic design that doesn’t have to mean anything.

Just saying this right up front. I’m thinking of this less of a blog as more as a supplement to this online portfolio. A place to document inspirations, WIPs, things like that. Kind of like… a blog. So to start, I guess we go to the beginning.
