Sew night....
Here is another hat Helen made.
LaVee's sister in law made this bag out of woven placemats. That inside fabric is fabulous.
This is the quilt you have seen before. It's quilted and ready for binding. Lauren and I put this together. She should be warm at school.
Jeri's granddaughter who is twelve put this quilt together. She did a great job. Marylou quilted it for her and it is so cute. I love the owls in the fabric. Fabric is from adorn it.
These hats Helen makes are so cute for big and little girls.

Do you believe in magic?--- Judi of Green Fairy quilts sure seems to be.
Judi does the most amazing quilting. She has her own store and quilting patterns. She is going to do one of our trunk shows at the festival. I can hardly wait. I love the colors on this top quilt but it is the quilting that takes my breath away.
Is this the cutest bag? I think this would be handy. Judi is teaching this bag class at the festival on Saturday morning. How fun.
this great table runner is the other class she is teaching. You can even make it a memory with pictures in the center. Bring your pictures and they will be made into fabric. I love the bliss fabric she used. Saturday, February 12, 2011
This lady is Amazing!
I asked Nanette of Freda's Hive to send me some pictures of the projects she is going to be teaching at the Festival this year and to tell me about herself and her history with the Quilt Walk. She is truly amazing I can't even imagine how she is able to do all she does. This quilt is one of her own designs called Freda's Flowers and is made with a jelly roll.
A smaller version. I definitely need some of that red checked fabric and those flowers are so original.
Nanette is always looking for unique fabric and she is so good at using it and it always looks great. There is supposed to be a picture here and I can't figure out where it went. I have tried several times to post it and it either gets lost or posts sideways.
The second class Nanette is teaching is a butterfly class. I have seen it done different ways. Look at the fun way she used the fabric for the lines in this one
This quilt looks so good when it is finished. I especially like the way she used black to make the fabric butterflies pop.
I am going to insert some of the information from Nanette's Bio so you will see what I mean by amazing. "I have been sewing most of my life and quilting for 12 years. I started designing patterns about 10 years ago when ideas would come to me for projects that I wanted to make but couldn’t find patterns for them. I love vintage fabric and Japanese produced reproduction fabric. My love/style is early to mid 20th century fabrics and quilts. I have links to free tutorials and also my patterns on my blog. I teach classes at local quilt shops and retreats. I am a mother of 8 children ages 16-29. My company is named for my mother, Freda. Freda’s talents and influence were passed onto me and I am passing on that love of fabric and creation to my family. Most of my children are adults now but our home is always a hive of activity with family members coming, going, staying and passing through. I have tried to instill in my family an understanding of hard work and industry. We have a big garden, chickens, bees and pets. I am a displaced city girl finding I love living a mini farm life and quilts are a big part of who I am and what I love doing. I also work full time for a mid sized medical practice as a department manager."
Whew! How does she do it all? Besides all that " I sew samples and design patterns for fabric companies."
"My theory on teaching," she says," is that we should have fun. I like to have a relaxed classroom atmosphere. We can fix any mistake. And I want everyone to get as much done as they want. Last year I took some of my class members into the free sew room after my class so they could finish their bags. I just want the class to feel like they've accomplished something and make progress instead of starting a new UFO."

This quilt is her newest design. It is called dreaming princess. That is the new Riley Blake fabric.
I think this is a quilt she designed to go with this new fabric that will be coming out this spring.
Ok, Here is the picture that I can't get to stand up straight. I wanted you to see the quilt. It looks as good sideways as right side up. This quilt is going on my list. Good thing I have a blog so I can keep track of all the quilts on my list. Wait, Is there a way to put that on my side bar?
I can't wait to see Nanettes quilts in real life.

Last year at the Quilt Walk I got aquainted with Shannon because
I could not stop admiring her bag. This is it, can you see why I was so taken with it? Shannon teaches classes at the Corn Wagon in Springville where she said she is known as the bag lady. Now the good part.......She will be teaching this class at the festival this summer.
I really like this bag and the inside makes me think of endless possibilities for it. Heck, I could probably pack for a whole weekend with just this.
I ask Shannon to send me some other pictures of this pattern so I am just going to let you drool over these bags.
Sorry I think I got this picture and the one below it mixed up now that I am looking at the pictures closer.

Sorry I think I got this picture and the one below it mixed up now that I am looking at the pictures closer. Shannon is teaching this class too. It is named lets twist and is made with a special ruler. This is one cute quilt. It is on my list.
A couple of weeks ago I showed a quilt with chickens on it. I didn't have the pattern info at that time. Nedra has the info on her site today. Take a look.
Enjoy!
