Finally got Lincoln off of the String Quilt blocks long enough to complete this throw. I’ve been trying to use up some scraps. It seems like they multiply when I put them in the bin to wait for a project. I’m going to try to eliminate the huge scrap supply this year. Right!!!

Yesterday I attended QuiltCon for the first time. It was held in Raleigh this year. It’s the largest Modern Quilt Show in the world. I was not disappointed! There were so many amazingly beautiful quilts….unique and colorful. And then there were minimalist designs. This one, Mulberry Swirl by Kelly Spell of Hixson TN won the Minimalist category. It is so simple but gorgeous. The show runs through Sunday so if you can get to Raleigh’s Convention Center it is worth the trip!

Did you know we have weekly art classes every Wednesday at 10:30 and 5:30 at The Studio. Students paint the subjects of their choice and improve their painting skills. We have so much fun. Contact Kelly if you’d like to paint with us.
