I really felt like I accomplished something that day! I am a pretty slow sewer, but this project enabled me to complete a whole, big section of the quilt top in just a short while! I felt successful! I sure hope I am able to take another workshop from you one of these days.<br /><br />Glad I chose that stripey sweater to keep me warm that morning! It was so funny to be matching my project!Betsynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-21839498036425657512012-01-17T06:58:53.008-05:002012-01-17T06:58:53.008-05:00Bonnie, I want to sincerely apologize if I appeare...Bonnie, I want to sincerely apologize if I appeared to be critical of your website.

The $1.89 flat folds hold treasures if you know what you are looking for in terms of quality.....I've found small pieces of some of my favorite designers and crazy fabrics you won't find anywhere else because they are end lots from garment manufacturers...and then the quilting fabrics on the bolts..both current lines and ones from seasons past.... I live less then 2 miles from there so I know it well...<br />Your Bargello workshop was so fun! I have my 4 panels almost ready to sew together I came home and sewed like a crazed quilter. Love Betsy's photo I think I'll print it and give it too her in a frame so glad we could come and sew with you.<br />CarolynCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602848022515109059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-84936133373158938172012-01-16T10:03:48.794-05:002012-01-16T10:03:48.794-05:00That is an incredible sunset photo, Bonnie.

I could see that one in progress using stripes and plaids--wondered if they were from recycled shirts. The idea intrigued me, since the two quilts fighting for space on my design wall right now are a couple of your patterns and I am doing them both in thrift store shirts. : )Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-6728254988028200842012-01-16T09:51:43.871-05:002012-01-16T09:51:43.871-05:00You will love M & L!

And, you absolutely make piecing a quilt fun, fun, fun, holding it out boldly as a great use of our time! Thanks for doing such a demanding job so that we can all learn and enjoy. I hope the wonderful sand beneath your feet and beauty of the ocean colors and smells sort of soothed the hurt from the insensitive complaints, yikes! I wish they would follow the old adage- don't look a gift horse in the mouth! and be grateful for your gifts, oh well. Remember, there's a great Ruby's 40's diner at the end of the Oceanside pier when you come this way again!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355439382519107029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-24248156602592328172012-01-16T09:04:24.053-05:002012-01-16T09:04:24.053-05:00I love seeing the photos of each persons progress....I love seeing the photos of each persons progress.
