Enjoying Life

I enjoyed teaching the class " Gradient Star"  to the Southern Comforters of Bowie in Md. 

 

Gradient Star

 I spent a day with my sister Polly.  She worked on this dinosaur quilt for one of her grandchilden.  This is one side of the quilt and the other side is just as amazing.  Go to her blog to see the progress of this quilt. Polly the Patchworker

While with Polly I spent the day quilting.


Rebecca and I did some wedding shopping.  
She treated me to a frappuccino  at Starbucks.

Shenandoah Produce Auction.

 Unbelievable Gift! This was a gift given to me from the 7th and 8th grade boys shop class from Mountain View Old Order Mennonite School where I drive the school van. There were three boys in the class and they all rode my school van since 1st grade. 
 This is such a special gift.

Diamond Chain Quilts: Barbara H. Cline

I am super excite!

The Quilt Show recorded a Skype session with me on my book Diamond Chains Quilts.  

 Not a real clear recording but I can live with it.

Solving the Quilt Puzzle/Winners On Diamond Quilt

For those of you who joined the blog tour for Quiltmakers100 Block vol. 9 blog tour, here is the answer to my question from last weeks blog. The question was to find the two triangle blocks in this quilt. The two triangle blocks that make up the quilt, Under the Sea,
 are framed in the yellow triangles.  

 Not as complicated as you thought.

I will be teaching this class at Sew Classic Fabrics May 15, 22, 29 and June 5.

I am so excited! C&T Publishing has accepted my 4th book. It takes about 1 1/2 years for the book 
to make it to the published stage. So long. :(

My sewing project this week is to quilt, quilt, quilt.

 This weekend I had the privilege to teach and speak for the Colonial Piecemakers Quilt Guild in Norge, VA.  Here is a picture of the charity quilts they made this month. 

In class, Catherine chose to make the Shenandoah Star out of paper instead of  fabric.  It turned out really neat. 

 Here are a few of the ladies that were in the class.  I just love seeing the different color-ways people pick for quilts.

The winner of the Quiltmaker 100 Block Vol. 9 magazine is Debbie and the winner of my book Diamond Chain Quilts is also Debbie.
