What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

The day after my trunk show to Madison Station Quilters we had a fun class! 

String quilts your way allows participants to choose what string quilt they want to make. The quilters are so creative!

Such cool fabric.

She was taking a more modern approach. I hope she shares her finish with me!

So simple but so many ways to set these! I spy the makers pj fabric made by her mom when she was little. I also spy adult greens! lol 

A simple choice of solids packs a big punch!

The white was also the foundation. 

My fav- blue ...

I had a lovely time with the Orange Grove Quilt Guild in Garden Grove.CA.

Here are photos from the string quilt class. 

I'd like to point out her apron which was made in a previous class- so darling! Okay, her blocks are cute too.

I LOVE meeting other quilters in person! Zoom does in a pinch but there's nothing like being together physically with quilters!

Thursday night I presented a trunk show to the guild. They meet in Citrus Heights, CA.

Paula Harden met us for dinner and attended the guild meeting. You may know her on Instagram at LaLa Quilts  She is an extremely talented quilter so was thrilled she would want to meet me and see my quilts. 

Saturday we met for class (I'll give you highlights on Friday about the day between trunk show and workshop)

String Quilts Your ...

Laura, from the North Idaho Quilters Guild finished her quilt from class! Yay! I love it! She took random size strips and center pieces and made liberated log cabin blocks! Isn't it wonderful?!

Most of you know I was on the road again last week. Wheee! Driving through 2 hours of snow wasn't fun, but other than that I had a blasT!

I love seeing quilters gather!!

Show and tell is below. Always fun to see what kind of quilts are made.

An amazing woven coverlet with the date woven in. 

Look at her cute apple vest! 

I was teaching string quilting the following day so this one spoke to me,.

The center block was an antique quilt- Marsha did the antique block challenge and passed with flying colors! Isn't it ...

Here are a couple of finished from the String Quilts class from the guild in WA last month,

This entire quilt finishes about 19"x21".

Someone had commented that EPP would be hard to do but she pieced it! She used the eye spy template to do the strings. Isn't that darling?

I really want to make one of these now!

Good job Laura.

Bobbi made this sweet wheelchair quilt. 

It has pockets too lined with flannel to keep your hands warm. 

That is really wonderful!

If anyone else wants to share projects they did in class I'd ...

It is so fun to take quilt classes. It is a good way to learn new techniques, make a fun quilt and meet new and old friends. Recently I was able to teach my String Quilts Your Way worshop. Each student makes a string quilt that they chose! Such a great class because your quilt will be unique yours!

This is Judy's string quilt that she started in class last month in McMinnville. Such great colors!

She used the pattern from APQ for this quilt that was published last year. 

Thank you to those who took my basket class ...

If I was going to have a quilt shop, I'd want it to look just like this! 

It was a little rainy heading from Portland to Litchfield for our appointment to shop at Cyndi's quilt shop. 

The link to Cyndi's blog- HERE.

Filled with lots of quilts and almost exclusively reproduction fabric!

Cyndy's potholder quilt! Amazing reproduction.

Oh yes! 

Here is Cascadia, one of my quiltalongs. 

So simple but effective and so sweet!

Wendy, of The Constant Quilt blog, came to visit as well! I was as thrilled as I could be being able to meet ...
