Here are some pictures from the classes! We had a wonderful time, I am going to sum it up this way:
the days were full of activity, creativity, friendships, sharing, good food, and above all lots of laughs. Thank you so much, North Star Quilters, what a weekend, what a show!!!! I think I left my heart in North Dakota.
Here is a sampling of the fantastic quilts at this show. Wow, is the best way to describe the workmanship and quality of these incredible quilts! Judge for yourself. They took my breath away.
I have here two web addresses I would like you to visit. The first one will have great directions for my favorite tablerunner, easy, fast and you can use any type of fabric such as a large Christmas print etc. etc. Great gift idea.
The other site is my funky vests, please take a look they are easy and fun. My favorite machine is Janome as you know, hence it is on the Janome site! Enjoy!!!
I had the pleasure of staying in Naples FL with my friend Judy Bauckham in her beautiful cabana take a look how lucky cn I be and I made friends with the two adorable dogs. Further more my inspiration for the next couple of quilts has to come from the incredible colors of the plants and flowers. Wow!
I had a two day class in Strips 'n Curves and I think everyone did something unique and fun. thanks everone for your patience and creativity. I can not wait to see the finished quilts!!!

I am a quilter with a global perspective on needlework. I was born in Indonesia, where the fabulous batiks of the region kindled my lifelong love of fabric. I grew up in the Netherlands, where years of appreciation for the needle arts started. Upon moving to the United States in 1960, I was immediately drawn to quilting and quickly became an accomplished devotee.
Although my quilting started with a traditional approach, soon new and exciting designs took over and the traditional gave way to more innovative work. The incredible flexibility that fiber offers, attracted me to “paint” with fabrics. I have developed two new teaching procedures: “Color, Design and Theme” and “Strips ‘n Curves”. The latter is the subject of her first book, published by C&T Publishing, Inc.I now have three books out: Strips ‘n Curves” “A New Twist on Strips ‘n Curves” and “One Patch Plus” written by myself along with my daughter, Lisa Harris.
