Quilting Classes in Kuwait and Dubai

KUWAIT

Overlooking Kuwait

My two sisters June and Emily went with me on this trip. 

 These are the Kuwait Towers.

We ate dinner in the Kuwait Towers.

 

I enjoyed teaching to all these lovely ladies.

Teaching Under the Sea in Kuwait.

 

DUBAI

 At the market.

As a quilter I found these fabric stores very interesting.

One evening we spent at the Global Village.

A safari ride in the dessert was one of our highlights of the trip. We road in 4 wheel drive SUVs over sand duns.  A very thrilling experience.

Camels are being trained for racing.

Schanker and his wife and daughter made our trip possible.

  They own a fabric store in Dubai.

This quilt class Surprise Packages that I taught

 in Dubai had 15 nationalities represented.

 The older part of Dubai.

The tallest building in the world is the

 Burj Khalifa located in Dubai. 

 The first row of the quilt is finished.

The class rooms were full of busy quilters.

Thanks to everyone who made our trip to Dubai and Kuwait a wonderful trip.

Fall Days

You can tell that fall is here when it is time to make

 apple butter. Our granddaughter Rowen stands beside 11 

bags of apples cut and ready for the apple butter kettle.

 The fellowship around the kettle is what makes the day so special.

 I love seeing the little ones play together and having fun.

Thanks to Dad and Mom (Terry's parents) for 
making apple butter day  happen.

 Not sure why and how this granddaughter of ours Odessa has learned this trick of standing on her head. She can hold this pose for over a minute.  Maybe she will be a gymnast?

AS A QUILTER

 Let your imagination run wild and see if you can 

figure out this new quilt pattern. 

Spiky Desert Cactus

I just finished a new pattern.  There are two sizes in the

 pattern, a 48" x 48" and a 22" x 22".

 48" x 48"

A close-up of the machine quilting.

 I call the background quilting pattern sticks.

 Between the red outside blades I quilted red 

blades between the pieced blades.

I will also be teaching Caribbean Delight at Sew Classic Fabrics November 26 and December 3 at 10:00am-1:00.

 New Quilt E-Pattern  48" x 48"
 Caribbean Delight is a new quilt e-pattern.  The ombre in this quilt is called Rainbow and is from Timeless Treasures.

Here is a close up of the quilting.  I used different colors of thread for each of the background stippling colors.

 


  
This quilt is quilted with radiant beams coming out of the center and I used peacock ombre for the stars.
