Wilma just completed her sampler quilt from Class 1 of the Block of the Month sessions. It looks GREAT! She decided to make hers larger than the 12 blocks the rest of us did by duplicating some of the blocks for a total of 20. It really looks nice. Well done Wilma!!!
I love it when people choose their colors while painting the same image. They look terrific, don’t you think? I love these Retro Flowers. Stay tuned. We’ll be doing more at the first of the year. And check out the upcoming classes at The Studio here.
We had a large group of painters and a terrific fundraiser last night at The Studio for Southern Paws Virginia. The paintings looked great and we had a good time while helping a worthy cause. Thanks to everyone who participated. Check out the upcoming classes at The Studio and come join us soon.
I saw a similar quilt to this while at the quilt show in Hampton last spring and knew I wanted to give it a try. The one there had strips of fabric for the stripes but I love a scrappy quilt so I made mine using small blocks in a variety of red and white fabrics. Theirs had Friendship stars but I love using a variety of Sawtooth Stars so I mixed mine up. I made it as a Quilt as You Go so the entire quilt was made on my Babylock Unity. I’m happy with how it turned out. I call it “Yankee Doodle”.

Class 3 of our Block of the Month Quilt groups did a great job Saturday making two more blocks for their Sampler Quilt. They learn all about flying geese and points….way more than they wanted too! LOL! they did great learning this challenging part of block making. Great work! Just two more blocks and they will be putting their quilt together.
