With a new little girl entering the world, MQX wasn't in the card (3 hr drive each way)
So my GF and I went to the Sew Expo in Worchester, MA instead.
Here are some of the quilts we saw:

So its been a while...like a year.

We added a new member to our family recently.
Kennedy Rose was born March 14th.
Hard to believe she's already 6 wks.

I've gotten a little sewing done.
I've joined a Modern Quilting Bee and need to pull fabric choices for their blocks.
Hoping she'll let me do more sewing as she gets older.

I took a class with Angela Walters.

Lots of info and great teacher

Here are a few samples from class

Just attended MQX in Manchester, NH

What an experience....sew many talented artists.

My mom tells me to remember that people love what I do and appreciate it.

If it was my job to quilt all day every day, perhaps my work would look different.

I love what I do.

I gained lots of ideas, though I think the classes are designed for long-arm quilters rather than domestic.

Here are some picts to enjoy

Check out the striped fabric that makes the center of the block

 Would you really want to do all this piecing?

I Spy swap found!

I was thinking about hosting a swap ( I have WAY too much I Spy fabric) but I found someone else who was hosting.

Hop over to Hammer and Thread (link)

Come join the fun!
I'm already in!

Fabric is in the mail!

All of the 40 swappers packages have made it into the mail!
I hope you enjoy all your fabric.
Thanks for swapping!

My friend Donna and I took an ink pen workshop while in NJ.
