Last month I attended a quilting retreat with 8 others. This started as a charm pack and a jelly roll purchased on clearance at the Joann’s in New York last August. I also have 4 fat quarters of the same fabrics, all for the low price of $12. This pattern was picked up at the LQS on my way to retreat. The LQS sends us $5 coupons on a $10 purchase during our birthday month. My purchase came to $8 (thread) so I threw this in. The pattern had caught my eye at Ben Franklin’s, where it was on clearance. I had thought I could live without it, the next visit a week later, it was gone. Once it was gone...I wanted it! The whites need to be cut.
A couple of the ladies from my first quilt class asked if I
would teach another class. I said yes, of course. What to teach? Something good for a beginner, but something that will hold the interest of someone with more experience. Here are the options given. This one is from the current issue of American Patchwork a
nd Quilting. If this is to be a true option, I need to get busy and make it. I did some cutting yesterday. This fabric is from Maui a few years back. This will be another memory quilt for the family.
The other option for the class is my version of the Bonnie Hunter’s “Patches & Pinwheels”. What fun it will be to figure out yardage for this quilt. The dark brown and light brown that highlight the 16 patches were each a fat quarter, if I remember correctly.So far, one vote for the “Patches and Pinwheels”.
Happy Quilting,
Just Another Quilter
