Lecture and Class Next Week

I'm looking forward to speaking at the Pieceable Quilters guild meeting and then teaching the Sunflower Garden class next week (October 18th and 19th).  Their guild is in Lynden, WA and it is going to  be lots of fun, but right now I need to finish sorting, packing and taking care of all the little details that need to be finished before I leave.

Sunflower Garden - in batiks!

This morning I finished a batik version of my Sunflower Garden pattern. I really liked the way it came out, and along the way, I made a few changes in technique. The original was only quilted using fancy stitches from my sewing machine, but this time, I used wavy stitches for the applique, then quilted the blocks with free-motion. More fancy stitches were added after the blocks were put together.
