Class at Patchwork Plus and Family

Dazzling Daisies class at Patchwork Plus.  Terri has a three fabric color-way.  Some like to chat instead of sew.:)

 

Marie has 19 different fabrics in her quilt.  This is the second class of a three week series.

Eileen is working with batiks. She is ironing her daisies onto a triangle.

Dale chose pastels for her quilt.

Dale did some fussy cutting with her daisies. So striking.

Thanksgiving Day at the Cline's.  It was very special having my mother and mother-in-law there.  Some of the guys went hunting and missed out on the turkey.

Life and Quilting

A field of sunflowers that I pass on the van route.

This is what happens when you turn your camera loose to children on the van.

 What a treat to be with my two sisters and brother-in-law. 
Mother fixed our lunch.

 Mother, my sister June, and I spent an evening listening to a gentlemen play tones on glass goblets.  He would play six at one time and have such harmony.

"Spinner" a new pattern coming.

 Close up of the quilting.

"Overlapping Star" another new pattern.  Features in table runner are stacking layers and cutting them out, working with strips.  This is just triangles sewed together in rows and then the rows sewed together.
