My dream job....


Several time a year I get to teach new quilters.  In April & May of this year, I was lucky enough to have three students.  They all did great jobs on their quilt tops.  Above is Lona's quilt. Below is Trisha's quilt.  They inspired me to make a new version of this quilt for myself.  I have just finished the binding & will post a picture soon.

My Version of a "Race" Quilts


I've taken a little break from teaching pieced quilts.
 
Guess what?!  I have been piecing & enjoying it. 
My good friend, Pat, was telling me about "Race" quilts.  She shared with me on how to make this quilt top. 

I made two (2). 

This brown one is my second one, of course, I made a couple of changes.  I was going to add striped borders around the quilt.  I added one border then got lazy, cut a 15" piece of my quilt off and sewed it to the other side of my border.  I really like it.

I am going to have a sewing day at Pioneer Quilts to share how to make this quilt.  Watch for their newsletter for information.

Be Well.
