Sew night---Hats, and chickens and blocks and more

Where did my post and all my pictures go?  It just disappeared. 

We even make baskets at our quilt festival.

Pam Kay has been at the quilt walk since the second year. Each year Pam teaches two basket classes and one quilt class.  What a talented lady.  This year Pam graduated  from San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Arts in History after four years of study beginning in June 2006. "During that time I studied book making and wheel thrown pottery,two new loves of my life. " She says.

 Everyone is facinated with the baskets.  She has students that come back year after year.  This is the split tool basket that they made last year. 

the melon is  the second basket they made last year.  How cool is this?

This basket is called the fat quarter keeper.  Couldn't we all use one of these?

I don't think that she has taught this one at the festival but it is a quilters tote.  I am sure I need one of these.

The red X is here on purpose.... This year Pam's first class is a mystery basket.  I can't wait to see what she comes up with.

This is called "Shotgun Wedding at Midnight" taught in 2009.  fabulous!

Her Mississippi Flyaway quilt has been taught two different years at the festival.

The class of students from 2009  all successfully completed the "Muffins for Two" basket.

 Stars and moons.

another great quilt, tipsy tulips.

Pam tells this story about  her 2007 trip to the quilt walk.  "I got a flat tire on the way to Panguitch in 2007, the year I did the trunk show. I had to call road service to come change my tire. He said

"Ma'am, I don't off load trunks, I just change tires," so I had to
unload all my quilts and pile them on the side of the road. He changed the tire, I loaded the quilts back and followed him to his tire store
about 10 miles away. I bought a new tire and had him install it, then
he was going to put the little emergency donut tire back in my
trunk--you guessed it! I had to unload the quilts again, have him
replace the tire in its proper position and re-load the quilts again.
Ha!"
I think if she had been closer to she would have had plenty of help unloading and loading. 


 

She says this is one of her students favorites.

This is the first class Pam taught at the Quilt Walk, the Cranberry basket. The interesting thing is that nobody ever saw it or even a picture before the class. The students signed up on blind faith!

Pam is one of our teachers that does it all.  Wait till you see all that she does.  This is the second basket she is teaching this year.

Besides the baskets she is teaching this fabulous pineapple quilt.

Don't forget to see all the news of the Quilt Walk at Claudia's blog.  And if you want to check out all the things going on at the Festival the site is up and running.  I know of some people who have already sent their registrations in.  I am still trying to decide.  I may have to put them in a hat and draw.
Enjoy!

It was the week for sew night.

I don't know what happened but I had a post almost ready to go, it dissappeared.   That should teach me to save more often.  So now I will try again.  Anyway Wednesday was sew night.  Getting together with friends is the best. 

Jerilu got three quilts back from the quilter.  Shari of its quilted did the quilting and did great job.  I am not sure which is my favorite but these are awesome quilts. 

Jerilu made this quilt to hang in the H&R.  I think she said they had kits of this made up.  I may need one.

close up of the fabric.  I forgot to ask her what lines she used.

I love the blocks on this wonky quilt.  I think I may have to try this.  Each center is the same but each block is so different.  I love yellow so I think when I do it I will try to use yellow also.   I don't know about you but my quilts kind of have a mind of their own and I say I will use yellow but then the quilt will tell me something else.  Which is why I have quite a few blocks without borders in my closet.

This quilt was lost we were afraid the pieces had been found by someone who did not know what it was.  We were relieved when it turned up.  I wish I had taken a close up of the quilting on the sheep they look so fluffy.

Some how this ended up below the Christmas quilt but I wanted to put a closeup of this block in. 

I am still having trouble with this blog post so I will post the rest of the pictures later.  Enjoy!
