What makes a dreary cold day in April brighter? MORE FABRIC! HAPPY FABRIC!
Fabric and colors can impact my mood ---and even though we grumbled about waking up to snow outside – ((Yes, this is what I saw all over poor Shamu when I went to drive to the Conference center from the lodge ---UGH!!!)) we knew we were going to get to spend the whole day playing with our fabric, petting it, sewing it, pressing it, UNSTITCHING it, and even swapping it with others for more variety in some cases.
And we got SO MUCH sewing done ----you gotta check this out:
Oooh, pretty! No cold in here!
Irons keep us nice and toasty warm too!
Measuring twice, and cutting ONCE!
And once again, until blocks appear from strip sets!
And blocks turn into THIS:
And even the silliness of this:
Whoowhooo!
And some zealous quilter blows us away with this:
We are in awe!! Isn't this going to be great?
You'll find the free pattern for Hidden Spools under the Free Patterns tab at the top of the blog. Is there a Hidden Spools in your near future?
Check out the slide show for more of our class photos. You’ll even see some shots of videography going on – we were being taped for promos for next year’s event sponsored by the University of Kentucky and the Extension Service. COOL!
