Our Quilty Fun, BOM 2015 is going strong!


So much cutting and kitting to do! And a fun technique to learn for this Flying Geese block from Lori Holt (block for March).


Here is a fun video of our sewing ladies!  I love hearing all of the talking and laughing going on during class time.  It's a really short video, but they are such a great group!




And here are two of my completed blocks, Apples and Twinkle Stars.  I finished my Court House Steps block, which I loved making.  Up next are the Baskets.  Just three of those to make.

If you would like to join in, there is room still available in the Thursday class.  It meets the 4th Thursday of every month at 10:00 - 12:00 pm.  Call the shop (916) 209-3930 to save your seat and a kit!

sweetheart

I hung up some sweet Valentine quilts in the shop today.  The pink/grey quilt is made with a charm pack.  The lots of hearts quilt is made using the Go Baby, and the red heart on the right was made as a gift from and Insta Gram mini quilt swap.


The Lincoln News Messenger came by and took some pictures too! I hope they end up in tomorrow's paper....  That would be neat!


And I played Dress-Up with my mannequin.  Isn't she the cutest! I used some vintage clothing patterns, that I have a ton of.  And a heart banner that my mom made last year.  If you see Bridget (the mannequin) come in and say hello!

go baby!


My Mom, Donna, teaches in the shop about once a month.  She loves using the Go Baby from Accuquilt.  She seems to always be thinking of something new to make.


Here she is with her students from the Sweet Heart Table Topper class.  I love how these ladies each made it their own way.  Just using one color of fabric, making the topper oblong, or using brighter, deeper fabrics.  Each one is beautiful!


The next class is going to be the Shamrock Wall Hanging.  See how Mom used the Heart Die again!  So cute.


It measure 8 x 15. And will be great to make with a variety of green fabrics.  Or just one green batik, like in this one here.  We also added a few ladybug buttons.  I hear they are lucky too!
