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!

Yesterday our second group of quilters started their Row Quilt. They worked up 2 rows of 4 patches to make a great checkerboard design in the Quilt as You Go method. Here they are showing off the front 4 patch and the backing fabric they have selected for their quilts. I can’t wait to see how they turn out! Nice work ladies. See you next month!

We have a couple of spots left for our Gingham and Hearts Quilt Workshop coming up on February 11th from 9 am – 6 pm. Learn to make a Gingham design block for a beautiful patterned quilt with Heart motif….just in time for Valentine’s Day! The great thing about this pattern is that you can apply it to many other designs. Come make this one and get some other great design ideas. And we will be applying the Quilt As You Go method…a fun way to make a quilt on a domestic machine. You have the option of registering for the class only and you will get a supply list where you can purchase your fabrics and info on what to do prepare for class. Or you can register for the class and kit and everything you need for the quilt will be provided….cut and ready to sew. Click here to register.

I call this one the Builder’s Star because it was the Christmas gift I made for the “Honey Puddin’ “….and he is a builder! I wish I could have gotten a better photo of it. It’s huge….the biggest quilt I have made so far but I knew he wanted a quilt that would cover his queen size bed so this one turned out 75″x98”. I really love how these stars work together. When I chose the two stars I didn’t realize the serendipity of having a heart appear in between the two stars when I put them together. Perfect! I still think handmade gifts are the best! He LOVED it. It is really hard to make something for him without him seeing it as he comes in and out all the time as I am sewing and quilting. When he asked about what I was working on last week I told him it was a quilt for an upcoming class in January. I think he believed me because when our friend Wilma was here for Christmas Eve dinner I asked her to help me photograph a big quilt I just completed. I had to stand on a chair and still couldn’t hold it up high enough for the photo to cover it all. Allen watched this and when we finished he said he wondered if maybe he could have that quilt when I was finished with it for the class. That’s when I flipped it to the back side to show him the label (See below). Merry Christmas!
