Anne September 2, 2016 at 11:47 am on Kaleidoscope Breeze – online drawing Sept 24thJosi, thank you for writing up such a great post and for all the hard work in organizing this for the guild. What a wonderful cause our quilt will be supporting. As quilters, we use our sight to see all the glorious colors and fabrics we use in our work.

lori landenburger March 30, 2016 at 10:39 pm on 2016 Paintbrush Studio New Block Blog HopWhat a super block!! I'd love to see it as a signature quilt :) And such a great name!! xx
Carrie Wikander March 30, 2016 at 6:41 pm on 2016 Paintbrush Studio New Block Blog HopLove the flying geese and really the entire block. Great use of the colors I would say. Thanks for sharing.
Stephanie March 30, 2016 at 6:17 pm on 2016 Paintbrush Studio New Block Blog HopOhhh I love me some flying geese!!Your block looks fabulous, and the name is so perfect!! P.S. I had a hard time finding your comment icon! But maybe that isn't so important these days... people comment much less frequently now than they did even a year ago...
Sharla @ Thistle Thicket Studio March 30, 2016 at 12:44 pm on 2016 Paintbrush Studio New Block Blog HopFlying geese are one of my favorites because of the interest it adds to a quilt. Great block!
Yvonne @Quilting Jetgirl March 30, 2016 at 8:08 am on 2016 Paintbrush Studio New Block Blog HopI really like the movement the geese give your block. Thank you so much for joining the hop!

Anne March 12, 2016 at 6:10 pm on QuiltCon EZ Triangle QuiltI love your tiny triangle shapes and color in this quilt Josie. And I'm so impressed by your FMQ. You aren't afraid to jump in and go for it.
Lisa March 9, 2016 at 5:21 pm on QuiltCon EZ Triangle QuiltThis is good advice. I think your quilt is awesome!
Anne February 1, 2016 at 8:34 pm on Urban Candy Curve Quilt – Finished!Yeah Josie. What a great finish. Your quilting is wonderful. Do you have the curve ruler? I've been thinking of trying it and/or maybe getting one for the guild library. Any thoughts?
Sabrina January 24, 2016 at 9:41 pm on Alfalfa’s Quilt PresentationHello! I stumbled on this quilt and was wondering if you would mind sharing the patterns used to piece the veggies. It is such a great quilt!
josiheron January 24, 2016 at 1:37 pm on Creative Quilting RechargeI didn't use the ruler but I wish I had. It would be a great addition to our library, we could check it out like the books!
Anne January 19, 2016 at 9:23 am on Creative Quilting RechargeSometimes a step back is what we need to feel rejuvenated. Did you use the curve ruler for that bottom quilt? I've been wondering if the guild library should get one.

tisha @ quiltytherapy December 14, 2015 at 8:37 am on Finding the quilt balanceThis is why I mostly make baby quilts. They care quick and can be done relatively easily. Larger quilts just take too much time and I'm usually ready to move on to something else. Balance is important because your family needs you, you need creative downtime, and to be able
Anne December 13, 2015 at 9:20 pm on Finding the quilt balanceYou are wise to realize this and smart to play and enjoy rather than be burdened with commitments that can suck away the joy and fun of being creative. I am pondering the same thing myself for next year.
tisha @ quiltytherapy December 11, 2015 at 1:59 pm on The Michael Miller Glitz Challenge QuiltWow! Your quilt is stunning. The description you provided for the ballooning technique made it sound really easy. I may need to look at that some more.
