As a means of reaching out to more quilters I have launched a Facebook Page! ’Like’ me on Facebook to hear more about the quilting process and see more projects as they get quilted in my studio http://facebook.com/quiltvermont
I also wanted to utilize Pinterest as a means of showing additional photos of my work and also ‘Pinning’ some great tips to share.

It’s that time of year! SHOP HOP! I’ve participated every year in this event – many quilting stores across the state organize a ‘shop hop’ it’s a great chance (excuse) to go out with friends and support our ‘local’ quilt shops and build up our fabric ‘stashes’. I’ll be on the road at 7am heading south. Will share some pictures of my purchases! We’ll be hitting 12 shops over the next 2 days. To learn more about this tradition now in it’s 9th year use this link: http://www.vermontshophop.com/
Vermont Quilt Festival http://www.vqf.org is a VERY popular summer event. This show offers beautiful displays of quilts for the competition, special exhibits (often of priceless antique quilts) and classes are offered from top teachers – not to mention the vendors who are at the show, a great place to buy more fabric or new tools on the market.
Registration for classes has begun! It will certainly keep me hopping over the next several months as I am Registrar Chair for 2014-2016.
Here is the ad I have placed in the brochure as a means of growing my business:
*** if you bring me this ad from the brochure I will give you a 10% discount on quilting services for your next project!
Several years ago my quilt guild’s show ( www.CVQG.org ) had slips available for people to leave comments for the quilter. I was so touched by the following from a longarm quilter from Queensbury, NY:
“Love your choice of quilting designs on all the quilts I’ve seen in the show – this year and last. I’m a LAQuilter myself.”
This meant a lot to me to receive this message and I still have it posted at my desk in my quilt studio…..
Here’s to new adventures in quilting! Quilters learn by sharing their work along with tips, tricks and lessons learned…. I’ll be sharing my quilting experiences and some of the awesome quilts my clients bring me to quilt for them!
