MOVING

We are moving to Ventura, CA.  This way we can be close to our daughter and her family.  Work at The Quilting Co. will temporarily come to a halt.  We have lots of renovating to do, so  we'll probably be traveling back and forth for several months.  I'll let you all know when I'm up and running again.

I want to thank all my valued clients over the past 10 years.  I'm looking forward to meeting a whole new group of quilters in southern California. 

Will miss all my wonderful friends at Diablo Valley Quilters and the Guild of Quilters of Contra Costa County.  It's been a joy to be so involved with DVQ.  I hope my small contributions over the years have made a difference.

3-D Flying Geese

At the Diablo Valley Quilter's Guild meeting last night, our speaker was Colleen Granger.  She showed us how to make a 3-D Flying Geese unit.  Of course she was on stage and you could only see so much.  But I did find this site http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Mu0C_QL8Y on the Internet. (Don't know what we ever did without it!).  Very cool.  And the terrific thing is, you can chain piece these puppies!  Imagine making a flying geese border in a third of the time and NOT having to trim anything because they come out perfect each time!

Sewing Room Finised!

Room is finished.  New hardwood floors and paint.  Annebelle likes her new room.  And so do I!  Pictures don't show it but I even have cove molding around the ceiling.  Looking pretty good.  Now we'll work on the living and pool table room.  It's all coming together nicely.

Face Lift - not ME, my Studio!

The Quilting Co. is getting a face lift.   Have new paint and new flooring!  It's looking good.  Can't finish painting the molding and getting everything put back into the studio.  Sure miss quilting everyday!

Thanks everyone for being patient while we get the work done.  See you all soon!

Molly Kathleen

Finally finished the quilt.  Just in time for Miss Molly to give her approval.  I think her parents like it too.   I'm so pleased at how it turned out.
