At the quilt show in midway besides a few classes, I was able to go to 3 trunk shows. I've never been to a trunk show before, but I love them! First I went to the two sisters Jenny and Helen from Sew Kind of Wonderful.
Most of their quilts use the quick curve ruler and YES I did purchase one. I think my favorite quilt of their was:
Next I went to the trunk show by Sherri Mcconnell, let me just say she is amazing! Her blog
www.aquiltinglife.com is fabulous and so is she as a person! I really want to make this quilt of hers :
This is my favorite of hers:
Lastly, I went to Emily Herrick of crazy old ladies. She has a very unique style, but I like it and I purchased a few of her patterns.
Lori Holt had the final trunk show that day, I really would have loved to attend but it was late and I needed to drive down the canyon home, not something I like doing a lot late at night.
Now what have I been working on, tablerunners! As we drove across the corn fields of Nabraska last weekend I bound a summery and a Halloween tablerunner.
Summer is my favorite season and so it's no surprise that this is my favorite table runner. I love the pattern that a local cotton shop created for a small class I attended to make this class.
Quilting, I am still learning on my new Aria machine, but it's improving quickly.
Now where am I, we just drove 1600 miles to visit Missouri and Illinois with my 4 children (I feel a little crazy right now).
I am sharing the post on Lets Bee Social and Freshly Pieced
