Saturday afternoon/evening I attended a Jody Barrows presentation of her Square in a Square sewing technique, family history, novels, quilts, rulers, DVDs, and fabric lines. This gal is a dynamo and entrepaneur - I had no idea she was doing all these things! Additionally, all those talents are intertwined in her family, novels, quilts, and fabric. Do you think I had a good time? 8-))) Her husband Steve and CEO (Carrying Everything Out) helped load and unload stuff.
This program was organized by Country Quilts of Scottsbluff - thanks Mary Eldridge!
While my photos are in reverse order, as soon as I walked in the room, I knew I was in trouble - quilt trouble! Many of the quilts featured in her Instruction books, and in her novels are already kitted up and ready for you, with her new fabric line. I came home so inspired. If she travels near you, take the time to see her stuff - you'll like it!
Square in a Square Technique.
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.
Gorgeous quilts. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteI giggled at the CEO title, but it is so appropriate.
Wow, amazing quilts!
ReplyDeleteShe really IS an entrepreneur. I remember being at Quilt market back in about 1997. She was holding forth, lecturing, selling, teaching. I was there with a group of friends and I think all of us bought something, or several somethings!
