Always on the lookout for a simple design that will work for a beginning sewing and/or quilting class I recently saw a quilt similar to this and thought it would be a good one to work up for a class. I like the simplicity and modern look of it. Watch for a beginning quilt class soon.

While the quilters were working on their Gingham Heart quilts at the workshop this Sunday I worked on these little Blackbird blocks. I am playing with an idea for a new quilt. Who knows where it might go! 🙂

The Still Life with Orange paintings that we did yesterday at the Paint Party turned out terrific! Don’t you think? Look how good everyone did. We even had a new painter in the group. It goes to show that if you want to learn to paint you can! Why not join us on an upcoming event. Check out our schedule here.

During the Stitching Retreat we took a morning off to make a little road trip to Harrisonburg to see the Virginia Quilt Museum. It was AWESOME! There was an amazing exhibit of antique star quilts. I LOVE a star quilt so I really enjoyed seeing these. The photos don’t do it justice but you get the idea. If you get a chance be sure to go to Harrisonburg and check it out. Here’s the website so you can see all the things they have on display.
Our happy crew getting to see the Virginia Quilt Museum.

I’ve missed several days of posting here as I was out of town for our sixth Stitch & Bitch Retreat out at Shenandoah River State Park. We always have such a great time. We sew, crochet, knit, eat, drink, share ideas and play games. The games are a highlight. We play “Strip” Poker using jelly roll strips and the winner gets a ton of them and has to make something and then share. Sometimes it’s scary to win. LOL! We played Left, Right, Center and the winner got to choose from a ton of great sewing/quilting prizes. And you can tell by the photos that there was a lot of joking and laughing going on.
