Guild Meeting

Yesterday's work day was cut short to head up to Oscoda for our monthly guild meeting. Yeah, it's a haul, but this is an amazing group of women who are friendly, helpful, and giving. Even though I don't see them often, we connect as soon as we see each other. 

We had a guest speaker last night. She is from Saginaw and she's pretty nationally known. Her name is Beth Ferrier and her appliqué techniques are dy-no-mite! No plastic glue (fusible). No hand sewing. My kind of appliqué. She was kind enough to provide us each with a few patterns to try on our own...

This quilt is spectacular

Not only did we get this free pattern book, but she gave a very long trunk show identifying how she has improved over the years; how her growth has pushed her into discovering new ways to do piecing, appliqué, and quilting. 

Jim and I didn't get home until after 10:00 last night.

Today I have one coming to pick up. Laura's quilt is done and I'm frame ironing Gails next up on DW. I'll be working on Deb B's quilt today while frame ironing the rest of the back for Gail...

Back on Bernie

This was loaded once already but pulled it off to do the second of two for Rae last week.
