On Friday, I took a class with Joanne Middleton of Patchwork Schoolhouse - she designed, pieced and quilted this Prairie Sky Quilt - Joanne is a great teacher - really knowledgeable and fun!! She's definitely a "precision piecer" - Here is Joanne's quilt . . . .

.... and these are some of the sample blocks made by the class. Everyone had different fabric choices, but they all turned out fantastic.
That was a full day - from 9 - 4 . . . . but then, up and at 'em on Saturday to the Heritage Park Festival of Quilts. The Quilting Goddesses must have been talking with Mother Nature - because the weather turned out to be perfect - not too hot, not too cold, sunshine and a gentle breeze - that forecast for rain just disappeared. What more could you ask for?
Another full day . . . I couldn't possibly take pictures of all 700 (yes, 700!) quilts on display, but here's just a sampling . . .
oh, and yes, I did spend a bit of time at the Merchant Mall ;)
Looking forward to next year!
