I have been quilting for over 40 years. I love all types of quilting, from traditional handwork to modern, and art quilts. I have explored Japanese Shashiko, Korean Pojagi, Celtic Knotwork, and English Paper Piecing, Hawaiian Applique, Guatemalan Embroidery. I love them all! I have been a Traveling Quilt Teacher and Speaker for quite a few years now. My husband was Active Duty Army for 35 years, and we moved 22 times during his career. Now that he’s retired and we have our ‘forever home’, I travel around the US giving Trunk Shows and Workshops. When I’m not teaching and speaking, I travel internationally to learn more about the many, many different types of quilting and needlework techniques around the world.

My Weekend at the Heritage Quilters Guild Show in New Lenox, IL

Booth display of Alice Ridge Quilts at the Heritage Quilters Guild show in Lenox, IL, showcasing various quilt patterns and kits, including designs of animals, flowers, and patriotic themes.

Whoo-hoo! Another weekend, another quilt show – and what a fantastic one it was! This past weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Heritage Quilters Guild Show in New Lenox, Illinois, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the warm reception Alice Ridge Quilts received.

A Burst of Color and Creativity at My Booth

Setting up my booth is always a labor of love, and seeing everything come together is such a rewarding feeling. I brought along some of my favorite quilts to display – from playful animals like turtles and frogs to intricate nature-inspired patterns. I even made sure to include my popular patriotic quilt with its bold stars and stripes, which many of you admired!

One of my goals was to have something for everyone. Whether you’re into animals, flowers, or more traditional designs, I made sure to stock the booth with a variety of quilting kits. Each kit comes with easy-to-follow instructions and all the materials you need to create a masterpiece, whether you’re a quilting newbie or a seasoned expert.

Meeting Fellow Quilters – My Favorite Part!

One of the absolute best parts of quilt shows is connecting with all of you! It was such a joy to meet so many quilting enthusiasts who share my passion for this art. Some of you stopped by to browse the quilts, some to pick up kits, and others just to chat and share your own quilting stories. It’s always inspiring to hear about the projects you’re working on, and I loved being able to offer tips and ideas.

It really warms my heart to know that many of you are excited to dive into the kits I’ve put together. I can’t wait to see what you’ll create! Whether it’s the llama kit that caught your eye or the vibrant floral patterns, I know you’re going to make something amazing.

Looking Forward to More Shows

If you couldn’t make it to the Heritage Quilters Guild Show this time around, don’t worry! There are plenty more quilt shows on the horizon, and I’ll be bringing even more designs and kits to each one. Quilt shows are a wonderful way to meet fellow crafters, get inspiration, and, of course, shop for your next project.

Be sure to follow me on social media or sign up for my newsletter so you don’t miss out on where I’ll be next.

Thank You!

I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came out to the New Lenox show. Your support means the world to me! Whether you purchased a kit, or just stopped by to chat, I appreciate each and every one of you.

Until next time, happy quilting!
