We took a class called Jennie's Twist. Not to hard mostly fun.

These are Claudia's blocks.  I really like the way they turned out and you can begin to see the twist.

These colors look masculine to me.  I can't wait to see Nan's quilt done.  

I even got a couple of blocks done.  I'm really liking the color on this.


In the room next to us they were making this quilt called Orange Marmalade.  It is so fun to see all the color ways that the ladies were using. 








In the next room down they were making baskets.  Really cute quilt.

 Becky is making hers with black white and green for a baby quilt.  Very fun.

Friday Trunk Shows-- Can I say WOW!


I guess I can.  Cori of Creativity amongst Chaos, was featured with quilts she had designed.  These are the greatest children s and baby quilts I have seen in a long time.  I think you will enjoy them more if I just show the pictures.  I am sorry I missed a few as my batteries went dead right after she started.  














Cori has a site where she sales her Patterns

More from Kathy's trunk show--Creativity

These are actually her dog and cat that she sketched out and made a quilt of, so talented.






She said these animals were easy, but I am not seeing it.  They are pretty great though.








This one is all done with yoyo's, charms and buttons.  It has such movement and is a fun quilt. 


This is another one she has embellished.  She even has seashells on it.


She made this from a sketch or doodle she had done.  She has been doing sketches since high school and showed us some of the notebooks she had from way back when.   She is a real artist and was a great one for the creative kick off trunk show.

These first two quilts are by the gal teaching machine quilting.  Oh my goodness they are beauties.


I wish I dared use color like this!


Look at that detail.
