Joyce joined me for a quilt lecture in Roanoke. We have been friends since teenagers.
Kathy shows a quilt she pieced a year ago in my class "Spinning Pinwheels". I love her bright colors.
I decided to make a miniature quilt for the Virginia Quilt Museum's auction. I used scrapes from a large quilt and made roughly the same pattern. First I trimmed down extra diamond blocks from the original quilt.
Not sure if I want to piece something so little.
Sewing funny shaped triangles onto a strip of fabric. And press.
Trim them into triangles.
Trimmed triangle units.
Piece triangle units in rows.
Piece the rows into a miniature quilt. This quilt is called "Over the Sea" made from my large quilt....

At Christmas time Parla gave me this flattened bottle. I think it is such a cute decoration. It sits in my kitchen window.
Easter Sunday at Mom and Dads. The older generation.
You have a wonderful family to be proud of. Your times together look delightful. I like the flat bottle from Autumn. I like your mini quilt, esp. how the grey swirled fabric shows up.
