Hexie Video now on YouTube

Who doesn't have just 1 minute to find out how to make those cute hexagons we are seeing everywhere?

 


And they are positively addicting to make - here are one of the several bunches I have made waiting to find their way into a quilt pattern.  These hexagons are made from Moda's "Tapestry" line by Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree & Co.  I think I have loved every line that Joanna has come out with.  It was fun to finally meet her at the Portland Spring Quilt Market this May 2013.  I wioll have about 40 of these hexies when I am done.  Hexies are my take along project and I have them neatly arranged in a fishing tackle box ( a new box not a crusty old one!).

This quilt has been on my to do list for so long

I'm going to take advantage and take this class.  I even got the pattern already!

Being taught by Susan Hyatt at Quilt St. George

My fondest memories are those of Sunday night dinners, and holidays spent at Grandma’s house.  Every first Sunday  of every month, after church, we’d pile into the Oldsmobile and head for grandma’s, where dinner was served on hot plates directly from the oven, and I was seated next to my grandmother, a proud, statuesque woman who evoked pride for her family in food and conversation.  On the ride home my sister and I would lie down in the back of the station wagon and watch the moon and the stars following us home . . . believing they were watching over us until our safe arrival back home. . . . That’s what this pattern brings to my heart.

L'Amour Est Trouve (Love is Found)

I'm Teaching at Quilt St. George In January 2014

Only 9 blocks makes the whole quilt.  The dresden flowers have a 3-d center to them that is so much fun to make.  The scalloped edge adds a delectable finish.  This is needle turn applique, but there is not much of it to do.  The finished quilt is 58" by 58" and the finished blocks are 18" by 18". In class we will be making one sample block each to take home and fabric will be provided for that block at no charge.  If you choose you may bring your own fabrics to work on instead.   Alternate colorway See website for details Date: Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm Skill Level: Intermediate Instructor: Marian Galian www.pinkhippoquilts.com

Started a new quilt yesterday

Looks like it will be done tomorrow and then it's off to the quilter.  Can't wait to show it to you when it is back.  Kathryn Carbine at The Stitching Corner always does an amazing job quilting my quilts.  This is from the Evening Blooms line by Riley Blake and Carina Gardiner.  She's one of my favorite fabric designers.  The yellow black and grey are wonderful together.  Everything she does is so romantic.  I'm already eyeing her new line which comes out this winter.

I'm getting back to my quilting.  My new website is up and we are taking registrations now.  It's our Quilt St. George Retreat in St. George, Utah
