Last Saturday a group of quilters left on a Fabric Acquisition Road Trip to Missouri. We have had so much fun so far stopping at many, many quilt shops along the way as well as other roadside attractions. I thought I should catch up on what we have done so far. We went from Virginia to Ohio for our first stop and saw lots of farmland, windmills, barns and barn quilts.
We have seen so many odd things along the way…including the mobile Baptismal running along the interstate!

I finished up the Layer Cake Custard Quilt when I got back from the retreat. I found the pattern at The Fat Quarter Shop and used Adventure by Elizabeth Hartman for Robert Kaufman Fabrics, a layer cake that I had in my stash as well as a batik backing I had been holding on to for just the right project. It’s a Quilt as You Go project.

I spent this past weekend with a fabulous group of quilters. Lots of laughing and sharing and showing off their beautiful work. It was so much fun and so inspiring to work along beside these quilters.

Just a few more hours to sew and then I have to pack up and head home. What a wonderful group of quilters who shared ideas and skills freely. Lots and laughing and joy in the room. We will share photos from the Show and Tell soon.

These quilters just complete the Churn Dash and the Double Hour Glass blocks for their sampler quilts. They just have 4 more blocks to go before we start assembling the quilt. We can’t wait! Great job ladies!

March is National Quilt Month. Everyone loves a good quilt!!!! They often bring back wonderful memories. Check out the history of quilts here. Quilts were once pieced together scraps made out of necessity to stay warm. Now quilts have now developed into beautiful pieces of art planned out using amazing fabrics. During the month of March we are having a Quilt Sale at The Studio. We are selling many of the sample quilts that we made for classes. Be sure to take a look and as we celebrate this month use the code QUILT to get 10% off the already low price of our quilts. (Remember the post last month about the cost of making a quilt. Here it is again.) Go to this link to see all the quilts we have on sale this month and pick up one for yourself or as a gift for a special someone. You have the option of picking it up locally or having it shipped. Select the option you prefer on check-out.
