Happy New Year to All. Can't believe 2010 is here!

Hold on to your hats, people. I actually made 5 quilts from Nov. to Jan. 5, finishing the last quilt in Jan. for my husband. Our daughter, son-in-law, son, and daughter-in-law were really surprised. I had promised my daughter a t-shirt quilt for the last 8 or so years. I know she had probably given up on me actually producing a quilt from all those t-shirts.

I had a great time at Dot Collins Workshop held by the Wildflower Quilt Guild in Temple, TX Wed., Jan. 20. Dot showed us how to do machine quilted feathers. Those of you who know me are probably shocked that I took a quilting class. I have had many quilting classes--just prefer to use these techniques in wearable art or art quilts. Dot made these feathers look sooo easy. Well, maybe after a few hundred hours, I'll get the hang of it and create somthing I won't mind showing off. If you would like to see Dot's work her website is www.dotcollinsquilter.com

I am looking forward to taking the Susan K. Cleveland workshop sponsored by WQG
Feb. 17, "Piping Hot Curves-Macaroni." I may start quilting more. :-)

I wish you all a wonderful year and lots of happy sewing with loads of projects actually getting finished. I also wish you peace, love, and happiness. Christine
