Classes Day #2

Got to Day 2 of classes with no breakdowns!

 

By this time, we are five giddy gals. 

Mountmellick was our first class this morning. 

Margaret, Chris and I already had fabrics and kits for this.  We started it when it was

Di's mystery in 2014 from Quilt Mania.

 

I was on my 3 border, Margaret had stems on her center and Chris HAD

a pristine kit until today.  We made her cut out stems!

 

Margaret got all of her swags sewn on and some of the broderie perse flowers cut out.

 

I got 84 1/2" hexies prepped and 3 sets made into flowers. 

Have 9 sets to go.

 

Here is a new one Di started in her favorite color red.

 

Here is ours (when they are finished).

 

 



 

OK got thru the morning class, but we were a bit rowdy.

 

Second class, kit arrived on the table and I don't think any of us even opened it.

We are all saving it as pristine kit!

 

Our rebels at table 1

 

 

Front:  Margaret, Kathy Hall and Angie.

Back:  Di, me and Chris

 

Kathy Hall is the Design Coordinator for Andover who printed Di's fabric line.

Hint:  Another one is in the works

Guess What----Kathy is from Roxana (IL), graduated in 1973 like Margaret and I and we all know some of the same people!!!

She has even been in the shop!!!!

WOW-have to drive 700+ miles to meet up

 

Angie (don't ask me to spell or even pronounce her last name-sorry Angie)

owns The Quilted Owl just outside of New Orleans.

 

By Monday afternoon's class, we were the noisiest.  Kathy, Angie and I spent most of the class downstairs with Mary.  Kathy and I both came home with a early 1800-1810 linen bed sheet from Mary's secret stash!

Kathy is going to applique on hers and keep it like a coverlet.

I am going to cut mine up and maybe use it in the center to applique on for one

of Di's future quilts.

 

Sad to go, but at 5:00 pm we were packed in the car and headed west (or south).

Rain, drizzle, falling temps in the mountains as we headed through Maryland and West Virginia.

 

Finally stopping about half way to Paducah in Ashland KY for the night.

 

Late and headed to bed but here are a few more pic from Di.

 

Maybe a new one for her new book?

 

 

 

New pattern soon!
