Dr. Seuss Quilt by Joan

Joan used the fun Dr. Seuss fabrics to make this (Australian style) I Spy quilt.  I’m not sure if she made if for someone in particular or just to have in her baby quilt stash, I should take better notes.

We picked the whimsical Popcorn pantograph by Jodi Beamish and quilted it with Rainbow thread.

So cute and bright.

Moonlight Serenade by Joan

This striking oriental style quilt was made a wedding gift for one of Joan’s nephews.

We decided that the Drip pantograph from Beany Girl Quilts was just what the carp needed.  To enhance the gold in the fabric we chose a Glide thread called Honey Gold.

Joan makes beautiful labels with such nice excerpts and documentation for her quilt gifts (makes me feel famous).

Quilt Primer Graduates

Six new ‘beginning quilting’ graduates, three of these ladies were not even sewers before this class, and you probably can’t tell who they are from the pictures.

By the end of class I think everyone was thinking about their next quilt project or which room in their home to claim for sewing.  I always love to see the fabric choices and am inspired to make another Single Irish Chain baby quilt after this class.

Beautiful quilts ladies!  I hope to see you again in a future class or perhaps you might bring me a quilt to have long-armed.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
