Last week Kelli and I went on a little adventure about 3 hours south of us to the Muscatine, Iowa quilt guild. Â Thursday night we did a trunk show and then Friday we taught a class.
The quilt they decided to tackle was our Golden Sunset quilt from Quiltmaker magazine. Â It was an ambitious project and the ladies jumped right into it.
Deb is on the right. Â She was our hostess and what a neat lady. Â I honestly could fill up a few days of blog posts with all the quilts, wall hangings and goodies she had at her house. Â She’s got a great eye for color and doesn’t seem to be afraid to try anything. Â I never thought I would make an art quilt-but after seeing her’s, I’m rethinking that a bit.
As we taught, we learned too.  It’s fun for us to learn…Did you  know that handle here on the picture below on the ruler is actually a cheap bath handle that you can buy at a home improvement store??  I didn’t.  The gals even let me test it out and I think I am going to pick one up.  I liked it!!
Kelli and I both loved the color combination that was happening here. Â The black and pink look great together.
Deb’s husband is quite a talent. Â He make these spool holders for cone thread.
Here’s Aunt Joan-one of the three Joan’s in the group. Â She opted to fussy cut the middle of her blocks.
Here’s our group. Â This was taken earlier in the day as a few gals had to leave early.
What a fun group. Â Thanks for having us ladies.
Melon Patchers had a wonderful time with you as well! Jo & Kelli are so much fun! I have to let Mandy know there is a picture of her first block on here. She is so proud and now has the tools to finish her first quilt ever! Thanks again, ladies!!
I attended Jo and Kelli’s presentation to the Muscatine Melon Patchers meeting on Thursday, March 27. It was a terrific program with lots of quilts, information and fun humor. They give a great program that any quilt guild would enjoy.
