Scrappy Bargello Slide Show!

Yesterday’s class was held at the Good Will Fire Department buuilding…..up on the 3rd floor!

It was a terrific location, loads of light, lots of space and windows to look out of.

The day was rainy and drizzly much of the time --- so it was the perfect day to be inside and sewing…..We’d load up the elevator with everyone’s stuff….send it up to the 3rd floor, unload, and send it down again.

A Fish in the Fabric?!?

AHA!  It hides the rotary cutter!

I thought this was so fun!  It was originally intended as a pencil case for a school aged kid, but what a fun thing!  And you’d definitely not LOSE your cutter if it was encased in a big pink fish!

This was a very fun filled fast paced workshop, and everyone got LOADS done!  It was fun to see all the different fabrics, schemes, themes and colors ---

After class, it was a hurry hurry to meet up with a different guild for dinner, and then a lecture for them --- we spent the evening with the Brandywine Quilters!  I literally fell into bed by the time we got home ---

Today is an extremely busy day too.  I’ve got a lecture this morning ---followed by a lunch, and immediately after I’m heading back to Virginia where I’ll spend the next couple of days with the Quilters of Centreville, VA!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

  3. OH wow! I have always wanted to do that quilt. It looks so nice, and so complicated. But your slide show makes it look doable! I also love the scrappy look to it.

  6. They are all so pretty! Bargello is one I would look at then walk a mile around so I wouldn't get too close, TOO HARD ! But,the pics of these girls projects looks so easy! I guess that's why you are called instructor/teacher. :o I will attend one of your classes someday. The closest you're going to be to my neck of the woods anytime soon is 3 hours away in McKinney, TX and the classes are full!
