Rainy Wednesday

I love a rainy day, I get very inspired. Today I taught a class at the Quilt Block, a local quilt shop in my area. We did mini quilts today.

 This is Leslie's



Hollyhocks
 Janet's....

 and ML's.
I think they all had a good time and they asked me to come up with some more classes! Now that is a perfect end to a class!


My friend Cheryl has opened an Etsy store called Sewing With Silk . She has some gorgeous Dupioni silk and she will give you instructions on how to use it. I know a lot of people are "afraid" of silk but Cheryl will give you lots of good tips, go check it out. Tell her I sent you.




Our guild held a challenge this past October and made quilts to donate to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative organization. We also raised $900 that we sent to them, along with about 90 quilts for their on- line auction. I urge you to at least go and see some of the beautiful quilts and if there is one there you can't live without, put in a bid. It all goes to a good cause.

You can also go here Calico Cutter's Alzheimer's Quilts to see the quilts that my guild members made. Great job ladies!

  4. What fabulous quilts, you have such clever students!! Your classes would be so much fun, I wish I could do one. I talk too much in classes and don't get much work done.
