Stella Bella Appliqué: June 2013

http://stellabellaapplique.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 30, 2013. I got a real surprise on Wednesday night! My quilt, "Love's Horizon," won two ribbons at the National Quilting Association's show in Columbus, Ohio: a first place in the duet category (it was beautifully quilted by Anita Shackelford) and a special recognition award, "Traditional: Remarkable Achievement in Classic Patterning." I wasn't there, but Anita Shackelford sent this photo of the quilt at preview night. It was very exciting! Links to this post. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. It to...

Stella Bella Appliqué: March 2014

http://stellabellaapplique.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 1, 2014. Home, sweet home! I have just returned from a wonderful week at The Elly Sienkiewicz Appliqué Academy. Which was held at the lovely Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia. Without a doubt, I had the most wonderful students ever in a full and then some class. These women were attentive, focused, funny, and kind. We had a blast! Here they are with their blocks in progress. That was a bunch of stuff to absorb! Now, they're ready to complete their blocks at home. I'm in love with...

Stella Bella Appliqué: Driven to distraction

http://stellabellaapplique.blogspot.com/2014/06/driven-to-distraction.html

Sunday, June 29, 2014. I’ve decided there should be no deadlines or "shoulds" in quilting as in, "I should be doing this or that." This is a good thing for me because I have been going in different directions lately. You may recall in my last post that I had fallen in love with an English paper piecing project from the most recent issue of Quiltmania. Here is the completed center of that project and I am well underway with the next round which are stars like the center hexagon. But more on that later.

Stella Bella Appliqué: February 2013

http://stellabellaapplique.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 22, 2013. Fun at Appliqué Academy! Elly Sienkiewicz and I are standing in front of my quilt, "Love's Horizon,". A valentine for my niece, Emerson. It was expertly quilted by Anita Shackelford. I spent this past week in my version of quilter’s heaven at The Elly Sienkiewicz Appliqué Academy. This was my second year as a faculty member and it was a blast! My students were all devoted needle artists focused on learning new skills and working on their beautiful blocks. And we had lots of fun.

What inspires your work? Do you teach workshops? Are your patterns for sale? What inspires your work? Another source of inspiration comes from attending The Elly Sienkiewicz Appliqué Academy where I have learned so much over the years. Elly’s books and the quilts she has made or supervised offer great sources of inspiration. Looking at antique quilts that are now housed in museums, particularly those attributed to Mary Simon, also provide ideas. Do you teach workshops? Are your patterns for sale? The Ell...

Saturday, March 23, 2013. More Little Red Baskets. Here are the rest of the little red baskets for the small quilt I’m making. The fabrics are all Daiwabo taupes. I think they're looking really cute and they are super fast! Using the prepared edge technique for appliqué, it only takes a couple of hours to do one of the more complicated baskets. The easy ones are even faster! Taupey color called "twig" from Mary Jo Hiney Designs. The feather stitch on the basket is done in silk floss from Gloriana Threads.

Thursday, August 1, 2013. I am so pleased to be teaching at The Elly Sienkiewicz Appliqué Academy. In February 2014. This will be my third year as a main conference teacher and it is an honor to be included. The Academy is in its 19th year and is an annual celebration of all things appliqué, drawing students from many areas of the U.S. and abroad. Some women have asked me about the application process for Academy. It's simple: write a check! I will also be teaching a one-day class on Monday called "Littl...
