We had a mystery quilter at guild

Her history was read and we had to guess who it was.  Here are a few of her first quilts. 
This one is really in browns , not sure why it looks green.  
 This blue and white quilt she said she took an all night class and they said she could finish the quilt during that class.  She was there all night but said no way did she finish the quilt.

More from guild

One of the ladies got up to show her quilt and said she had been working on it for ten years.  I have some of those but they are not nearly as impressive as this one.


A block from the class Claudia is teaching at the winter retreat.  

Pat said she got the bug to quilt after her children and families left after Christmas and this is what she came up with.  Fabulous.

Bryce country Quilters--It's a new year

We had our first meeting of the year and there were some great quilts.  Here is Claudia's Fractured Flowers with the quilting done.  She is teaching this class at the winter quilt retreat at Rubys next week.  
I think this is Crystal's and she mentioned that it was really out of her comfort zone as far as color but I think it is great.
The name of this one is Birds on a wire



this is Gwen's valentines quilt.
I am having computer errors I'm having to upload one place and blog another so will add a few more next time.

I have a new flimsy or at least the heart of one

I do plan to put on borders but haven't yet decided on them.  I bought extra fabric from this line. One jelly roll made this it is probably only going to lap quilt size.  The fabric is Bittersweet, by Banartex.  Wow! great fabric. I almost hated to cut it because it had such a nice feel to it.  Anyway I am afraid the fabric I bought is too busy so I am thinking solids.  If you have any suggestions let me know. I am thinking purple ( inner border) and gold (outside border) solids, too much? Also sorry for the sun in the window.  This was the first picture with my new Christmas "I pad."
