My husband and I braved the long ticket counter lines to get in, and the first place we went was straight to look for my quilts on display. I knew that I would have quilts hanging from the ceiling (more details on that in a minute), but...

As I have discussed previously, I entered two quilts into a local fair. The fair ended on Sunday evening; apparently the demolition derby Sunday night was a lot of fun. I went and picked up my quilts on Monday afternoon, and I was surprised by several things: I received actual ribbons! I thought I might just get the ribbon stickers. :) I...

Local Fair Opening Day

Friday was the opening day for the local fair, and I was looking forward to going down to see my quilts on display all day! It has been a pretty hot summer, and yesterday was no exception, so my husband and I planned to go down to the fair in the evening after the peak heat of the day...

Quilter | Designer | Tech Editor | Blogger

Yvonne is a former aerospace engineer turned modern quilter, designer, and technical editor. She was introduced to quilting by her paternal grandmother in high school when her grandmother offered to hand quilt a twin-size quilt to use in her college dorm room if Yvonne made the quilt top. Now, over 25 years later, Yvonne has developed a style that bridges her technical background and love of bold color, specializing in curves, transparency color play, and bold, geometric designs. Yvonne’s quilts have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and books.
