New Class

I have wanted to take Ruth Blanchet's , Bargello Seasons classes for a long time. So when I saw them at Quilt University, I signed up. This is my 1st one. There are 4 different classes, each with a different colorway and different technique. This was the spring one. You don't have to use the seasons colors if you don't want to. I am not sure if I will finish this as a quilt or use it as part of a vest or jacket. But I really enjoyed making it. We start the 2nd one this friday.

Here in the Nevada desert, we had been having a weird May and 1st part of june. Never broke a hundred. Was mostly middle ninety's . Nice and pleasant. But now the hundred plus is creeping in. So will be good time to stay in and sew.

2 classes

The Dixie Quilt Guild had aworkshop on making a Kalideoscope quilt. I made 9 blocks
and I am going to make a table cover. I want to do the process all the way through. "Make a quilt".
This is what I have so far. On the left is what the borders will be. The teacher was great.








I made this book cover in an free Online class at www.academyofquilting.com
Fun to do. Great instructions.
