Something About Nothing

I attended and taught at my first quilt retreat last week and had a great time.  So much fun that I kept forgetting to take pictures!  Here are a few I did manage to take. . . Sandy and I stayed with our friend Sylvia and we took advantage of the beautiful weather by taking a very long walk up the "hill." This is my new buddy Peaty. He is very handsome! We had trunk shows during the lunch hours that were very inspiring.  I forgot to take pictures while Flora was showing her quilts.  This photo actually looks like Bonnie is saying "Oh My!" The new fabric company Riley Blake Designs came the next day and showed their fabrics as well as a trunk show of their quilter's past projects. Sandy took a fun class from Flora where she learned a slick way of making these diamonds. Sandy also taught three classes.  Sylvia taught a class called "Mended Hearts" She also taught us strip poker! Here are the strippers. . . We bet with strips of fabric and the high car...

Wahoo!  My sample for my Lawless Log Cabin class is done!  It is always a relief to finish a project.  This will be heading up to Whimsy Cottage this week.  I'm grateful that the quilting thread does not show up as dark in the photo as I think it looks in person.  I don't think the photo shows the colors very well.  One of these days I will figure out the color balance on my camera!

I am very excited to be teaching at the Super Spring Quilt Retreat April 7 - 10, 2010, in The Willow Creek Inn at Ephraim, Utah.  I just finished this sample for my Lawless Log Cabin quilt class.  The class is only 3 hours long so we won't have time to finish an entire quilt but I hope to give those who attend the skills to make blocks like these: or these.
