Just got my “Picnic Quilt” back from the longarmer. I love the design of this quilt. It’s simple but it really could be used to play checkers! The simple blocke designs around the edge just enhance the checks. Love it! Now to go on a picnic.

We had a great quilt workshop at The Studio Friday evening and Saturday. These quilters got a great start on their Flying Flag quilts. They went home with some homework and will return in a few weeks to complete their quilts. Can’t wait to see how they turn out. Great work everyone. We even had two new to quilting enthusiastic students. We’re always excited to introduce new people to quilting. If you have ever wanted to learn to quilt be sure to check out upcoming classes at The Studio and join us.

The Ribbon Quilt is back from the longarmer. Wendy did a fantastic job on it. She always makes my quilt tops looks so good! I love this little quilt because I really like the fabric…Mercantile by Lori Holt for Riley Blake. I made the top at the retreat I attended in Pennsylvannia in March and just got it back and put the binding on it. I have quite a bit more of this fabric as I had a large fat quarter bundle so I can’t wait to make something else with it. (Here is the original post about the quilt.)

This is what the little Singer Featherweight Sewing machines were made for…travel! They were advertised as portable, and while in today’s terms, eleven pounds may seem heavy, they really are easy to take along. They are perfect for piecing quilt blocks. I love them! This one is a fairly rare 1961 Tan Featherweight… named Barbara Ann for my mom. She’s traveled with me to the last two retreats. I try to rotate the Featherweights I have so they all get used and I can keep them maintained. I have 6 now…Oops, how did that happen???!!! Did I mention that I love these little machines?

A few weeks ago I made this little banner that I donated to our local Humane Society for their Barks & Bags Fundraiser event. I hope it auctioned off and raised some $$$ to help those babies at the shelter.

The Northern Shenandoah Valley Quilt Show was this weekend in Berryville and it was awesome. What a great job the local guilds did putting this show together. Just take a look at a very small selection of the almost two hundred quilts that were on display. So much talent!!!!!
