Check out the gorgeous colors of this wonderful Good Fortune quilt!
Our show and share was terrific during our workshops in Atascadero, California this week – ALL of this amazing workmanship – brought to class to share with everyone in attendance – the most fun reveal of the day!
purple and gold and rusty red and green on brown – how YUMMY!
The left overs ended up on the back -
And the story of how the color theme came to be was finally revealed:
All colors were pulled from this piece of fabric sewn into the backing!
Much applause and oohs and aahs – And now everyone will look twice when discovering a multicolored floral print in their stash just to see what treasures it holds as far as color inspiration goes!
I’m actually writing this post a bit ahead – 9pm last night California time as my alarm is going off at 4am in the morning – my ride Cheryl (bless her heart!) is picking me up by 5:15am to get me to the airport – and then she will head back over to the show in San Luis Obispo as I wing my way from San Luis to LAX to Dulles and finally to Greensboro – there would be no way this would be posted today if I didn’t write it ahead.
Shared on Monday.
She started this with me at Asilomar last year – GORGEOUS!
I love the twist of the border units!!
Well done!
Holy Moly!!
Thursday’s Little Leftover Leader & Ender share!
She said she made another huge one while we were running that challenge, and it lives on her bed. This is just the leftovers – what a cutie!
And there are so many more in the slide show below.

Thank you for the wonderful gift of your week here in California! We all appreciated it so much. The slide show and pictures are such treasures to help remember all the fun people we shared the day with in class with you.
Praying for safe travels and a well deserved rest for you.
thank you for the wonderful quote, it will be my motivation decoration at my school room this coming year! I teach high school and most posters are more for elementary so I do my own thing cut out on my cricut in vinyl. You are often quoted.
Oh what a week you have had. Happy travels home to your family and furry friends. Rest well for the Celebration of our country this week. I need to sew some RWB!!
Wishing you safe travels today. It was nice to finally meet you in the Spiderweb and Straits of Mackinac workshops. Thanks for coming all the way out to SLO for our quilt show and to offer these five says of workshops -- it was all so much fun! Now I hope to get to the Quiltville Inn soon to sew with you once again.
Looks like you had a fabulous time in the Slo County way of life. Now you can enjoy you Bordello at Mouth of Wilson.
Adios
