My preparations are almost completed for a class with Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville, in south Denver. The all-day class is sponsored by Wooden Spools quilt shop. I remember how disorganized I am at a class so I cut pieces ahead of time. Well, then I was tempted to sew "just one" but ended up with 2 Jacob's Ladder, and one Rosebud. Jacob's Ladder had always been a favorite. I have a 3rd set of blocks cut for Union Square but not shown here -- better save something for the class!. Believe me, I have a LOT of plaids! I LOVE this Rosebud -- normally it ends up looking feminine, but wowser, plaids make a big difference! We're making the quilt Bonnie calls "Shirttails." I'm planning to set the blocks in a Row format, and each row will using the same fabrics.
I am traveling with a friend who knows how to navigate Denver traffic. Denver is about 4 1/2 hours from my home in western Nebraska, but we'll have a lovely visit during the drive.
Thanks Jody, for that lovely soft blue plaid in the Rosebud block - it sings!
My Show and Tell will be my favorite Pineapple Blossom that I started in Casper, WY, also taught by Bonnie 3-4 years ago.
I love that quilt, too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your class.
Love your plaid blocks!
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize you were that close to Denver. What a great opportunity to go to the class. Look forward to seeing you post about it afterward.
A class with Bonnie ... I'm jealous!! Have a great time and be sure to tell/show all when you get back :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks! Love the combination of the plaids. Have a great time at Bonnie's class (slightly green with envy here ;-))
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Bonnie really gets around. I was looking at her schedule and she comes to Texas just about every month! I love my VA Bound quilt and want to make Star Gazing next. Have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! LUCKY YOU!! Your blocks look wonderful! She is going to give you an A+ for sure!

PS Say HI to Bonnie for me! :o)
Have fun at your class.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time you will have - envy you getting to take her class. I love plaids too and have a bunch that are sitting in a box, uncut. Must get them out and do something with them.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to get into a class at my guild in 2015 when Bonnie comes. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky lady! I wish I could got to a class held by Bonnie Hunter. But so far I don't think she is coming to Sweden. I know you will have a brilliant time! I've just finished sewing Double Delight together and am going to put it on my quilt frame this weekend if I don't get distracted from the lovely cold weather outside....
ReplyDeleteWow! Look how organized you are! Those blocks are gorgeous! Can't wait to meet you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI envy you in being able to take a class from Bonnie Hunter. I like your fabric choices. I know you will have a great time in her class. Lucky that you have a friend to do the driving.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time! I wish I could join you. I'd love to take a class by Bonnie...
