I had a grand time in Des Moines last week!  Two lectures for the Des Moines Area Quilt Guild followed by two days of classes!  There was hardly any snow on the ground and the restaurants were fabulous!

Show and tell was inspiring. Jennifer Bernard, Iowa, created this quilt after taking my class several years ago.

Janeen Pearson and Tamara Watts-McPhail created this quilt. The center was done from my Cartwheel Constellation pattern that appeared in the American Quilter magazine about a year ago. They created their own borders! Wonderful!

While at the Des Moines class, JoAnn Belling received her new issue of American Quilter Magazine — which included the article she wrote. And, here’s JoAnn’s quilt that was featured in the magazine!
