The Best Part of My Job is YOU!
June 29th, 2014
Without a doubt, my email box is better than checking the mail box outside! I’ve just returned from Ontario, where I taught for the Lanark County Quilters in Perth, about an hour south of Ottawa. Check out the first three quilts in this post! Alexis Mongeau is new-ish to freezer paper foundation piecing and look what she created in less than three weeks, a marvelous, original design.
Valetta was in the same class in Perth, also new-ish to freezer paper foundation piecing. She chose to use the free-form fillers to feature and enhance the oriental woman in one beautiful piece of fabric. It’s gorgeous! Then, just today . . .
Valetta sent me another photograph! This time, she made one block of the Wheel of Fortune pattern in my book, Flying Colors. Simply Superb!
But, I also have received several more images of student works. Check these out below!
Carol Hesse took my class at Quilting in the Desert in Scottsdale, AZ this past January. I just love the contrast in her pieced filler strips, particularly the Mountains and Valleys filler.
Mary Kay Eklund took my class in Payson, AZ about a year ago. She has this to say about her project and the class: “Thanks for the encouragement on my quilt….it was fun and I hope to do more using your techniques. Remember if/when you have a chance to come to Payson, you have a place to stay!”
Vivian was in my class at Houston’s International Quilt Festival a while back. I love the movement that she got with the strategic placement of fabrics.
What a joy it is to see where you take the techniques learned in class! Some of my best friends in the world are people I meet in quilting classes! Keep those pictures coming!
