The obsession with Quilt As You Go continues. I just completed this quilt with this beautiful Georgia themed fabric that I found at Joann’s Fabrics…..never mind that I am in Virginia. I couldn’t figure out why they have Georgia fabric here. Probably some Joann’s in Georgia got a delivery of Virginia fabric. LOL! But lucky me as I am from Georgia and I love the fabric. Notice in the close up shot the outline of the state with images of scenes around the state….and then there is the brown fabric with Georgia in script as well as the peach and flip flop fabrics. I admit the flip flop fabric was listed as Florida state fabric but anyone who is from Georgia knows that flip flop is practically year round footwear! I like the way the broken diamond sting quilt design turned out. This is a fun, fun, fun way to quilt!

Wow! What fun we had yesterday as we held our first Block of the Month session. We had so much interest in this project that we had to hold two sessions! A Block of the Month series offers a chance for quilters to learn new skills and techniques. It’s typically structured in a way that teaches a new block each month, for a total of 12 blocks. At the end of the year, these blocks can be sewn into a sampler quilt! Each month we will explore a different block pattern getting hands-on instruction for each block. We will be using some traditional block patterns as well as some modern ones. I can’t wait to see these beautiful quilts come together! Great work ladies. See you next month!

We had such a great time on our trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We went to see the Ricky Scaggs concert but we packed in a whole lot more. We drove around the countryside and took in the beautiful landscape; saw hardworking people and their horses working the fields; watch the horse and buggies come into town; shopped in some lovely old towns with painted buildings that we adored; but best of all we found a few fabric outlets where I could not resist buying some gorgeous material. I’m beginning to think I have a problem. LOL! I see another trip to the area in the very near future.

I got to appreciate a different type of art yesterday as I traveled to Lancaster PA to see Ricky Scaggs and The Kentucky Thunder. They were AWESOME! Bluegrass is alive and well in this group. It was one of the best concerts I’ve seen in a long, long time. Great job guys. We LOVED it!!!!
