Quilt Retreat, Bonnie's Class

Wyoming has a LOT of open space -- last weekend we headed to Casper, Wyoming, to a Quilt Retreat where Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville would be teaching. This is a 4 hour drive, one way, from my home, so good company helps to pass the time.
I am most grateful to Vonda, a guild member, who sent me the information about the classes (and also for the home-made noodles)! We are all attending Bonnie's Trunk Show and taking her Pineapple Blossom class. Here's Vonda and one batik block. Thank you, Vonda.
Ramona, another Guild member, wanted to take the class also. She always does beautiful work and and is using some of her vast collection of batiks.
And here's Bonnie, in front of her class sample. She's standing next to some old gal, with a pinched nerve and extra plumpness who looks a lot like my Mother! I've 'followed' Bonnie for over 10 years and dropped her notes, etc, all this time, so was so excited to actually meet this beautiful dynamo!


Above is a 4-block example of what can be done with BRIGHTS! Wow!

I neglected to take a photo of my own 24 blocks, which is as I frequently say, areturning out better than I thought they would. I am using almost all stash, except for a piece of PINK that the quilt said it needed. I'll post it soon.

BTW, I fixed my virus/malware issue, and feel powerful! I've NOT fixed my pinched nerve/cooked neck issue. (P.S. added to my post next day ---my neck is not "cooked" it is "crooked"! Tooooo funny of a typo!!!)
