Pfantabulously Pfun Pfeffernusse!

Oh this group!

We had SUCH a good day in our Pfeffernusse Workshop in Rochester, Minnesota!  It’s the kick off of the 41st annual Minnesota Quilt Show!  FORTY ONE YEARS of bringing folks together, of sharing our love of quilting – and it just gets better and better every year!

As you can tell from this photo, we were PFORTY PFEFFERNUSSERS strong!

They PFILLED ALL the spaces with smiles on their faces!

with PFABRICS so varied and PFANTASTIC!

Love those neutrals -

And the 301 was stitching PFLAWLESSLY!

Pressing out the blocks -

Trimming and slicing -

(Oh, I am loving this green and black combo!)

Well done, ladies!

And these REDS!

Check out the fabrics -

Many are vintage 70s & 80s -

PFEARLESS PFABRIC INCLUSION!

It wasn’t long before we had block PFINISHES!

This is Kim’s rainbow version with a light green background.  She has a new house, and is doing a wall-hanging for a light green wall.  GORGEOUS!

Patriotic themes get me every time.

This is going to be a Quilt of Valor.

They all did SO WELL!

And there are many more blocks on the way to being done.

You’ll find the pattern for Pfeffernusse in my book String Fling – on sale in the Quiltville Store for the low low price of just $19.99!

This day flew by way too fast! 

Such an awesome day – THANK YOU, Minnesota Quilters!

Last evening was just as full as I was whisked off to Pine Needles Quilt Shop for a fun book signing with Doug Leko, Gudrun Erla, and Kaye England!  

Those who came out because you read it here on my blog or through my social media - THANK YOU!  I loved meeting you - it was such a great evening event.

That led right into a wonderful dinner with some friends – we haven’t been all in the same place at the same time for years –

Kate, Kathy, Sharon!  I loved spending some extra time with you!

It was a great evening of catching up.  We first met each other as the internet was ramping up – through a quilter’s email list we had to PAY to belong to – back in 1996 or so.There was no such thing as GOOGLE, YAHOO, or even a profile photo, everything was on dial up – but the quilters knew this was the way of the future.

Within a year or so we were arranging get-togethers, and the world was astounded – They could be MANIACS!  You don’t KNOW these people, they could be AXE MURDERERS – but quilters know.  And here we are celebrating 24 years of friendship after meeting online. 

I think it’s pretty cool!

Today is another day to play in the Strings – Talkin’ Turkey is up on deck – so bring on more of those delicious reds!
