more memorial day quilt

finally got this block border done after several cutting mistakes. only 2 more borders to go... the red is some fat quarters I was originally going to use for a snowball quilt, so lots of piecing for the border.

Poppies and Memorial Day quilt

I have 2 poppy plants, one red and one orange. They are blooming now, so vibrant!

Bonnie's class in Austin, Texas

It was such a thrill to finally meet Bonnie and take a class from her. After several years of reading her blog and making her quilts, it was quite exciting to meet her in person. This was a crumb workshop and was lots of fun, stretching your mind and doing things that for me were not intuitive. Here are some pictures.

Here is what we made with our squares from the crumb class. Alison's placemat; B and C's placemat front; B & C's placemat back.

Rainbow Hearts

Quilt for a silent auction - I plan to try and "buy" it back.

Happy Faces

this quilt is ready to be mailed off to Quilts for Kids. The backing is a sheet I had in my collection.
