Last week I was busy with these cute kids. Aren't grandkids the best?!
Then, on the weekend I went to Michigan to teach a workshop. I was at the Creative Loop in Paris, Michigan. They have some beautiful quilts displayed in the shop.
We worked on the Trellis quilt. This has been one of my most popular workshops. We worked a little on piecing, learned some good tips and tricks, then we worked on applique and I shared my method and helpful hints. Then the quilt is finished off with prairie points.
We had a nice BIG workspace!
That piecing is coming along nicely. . .
I didn't remember to take a group photo until some of the ladies were gone, but here is part of the group.
During my trunk show, I showed one of my newest quilts, Around the Town. Guess what? Several of the quilters there had already made this pattern. (They got it from the magazine,
American Patchwork and Quilting.) The single pattern is now available on
my website.
Two ladies had used my fabrics from the Elizabeth's Letter's line--didn't they turn out great! I really like the green stripe as the border, don't you?
One quilter had done her version in different fabrics. I LOVE this one! The dark houses and flowers on the light background really pop. I can't wait to see it with the border on. I hope she remembers to send me a picture!
If you have made up one of my patterns in a different color way, I would LOVE to see it. After all, variety is the spice of life!
