I’m not a big Facebook user. I resisted for nine years until I was forced to join after the National Association of Certified Quilt Judges decided to host a FB page followed by the Quilt Judging Seminar Instructors, of which I’m one. Now I have to admit that it was only through a FB post […]
Mini Zinnia Pattern
I think I should thank American Quilter’s Society for much of the success of “Z is For Zinnia, C is For Cosmos” this past year. The quilt earned a third place at the Lancaster show and first place in Paducah last year. Presently, the quilt is juried into the Daytona show, which takes place at […]
