Upcoming Classes

-

Just a quick post today.
I am really looking forward to my first class held at my home tomorrow in my Quilting B studio. It isn't quite finished but is looking better all the time. 

I'd like to remind you of a few classes that I do each month. Most of you know about the Spargonians that meet the 4th Sat. of each month at Pioneer Quilts. We meet from 11:30-2:30. We just began our new Prairie Women's Sewing Circle last Sat. with 18 ladies. it was great. Ask me for details.

I have a class coming up this month at Pioneer Quilts called Firefly Sewing Envelope. It is designed by Sue Spargo and I am delighted to be able to teach it. Here is a picture:


It measures 9"x12" closed and 27"x12" open. It has compartments and pockets and a cool pin cushion on the inside. There is a sample at Pioneer Quilts . It is scheduled for Feb.20 and 27th from 10:30-2:30.


I also have a group called "Betty's Bunch" that meets on the first Friday of each month at Quilters Corner in Oak Grove. We work on wool projects and then go have lunch! Quilters Corner is on a corner on Oak Grove Blvd. I also have a hand piecing class there Feb. 8 and 22.

The Civil War Sewing Box that I showed in a previous post will be available as a class and the Ladies of  Liberty quilt shop in Independence, Oregon on March 2. The store features civil war fabric and a lot of great period patterns.

The following pattern is free on the Marcus Fabric website and is one that I'd very much like to do as a monthly class. Here is the link

I can save the picture to word but can't seem to paste it here.

It is 60"x 84" and uses fabric by Judie Rothermel and the New England Quilt Museum. The quilt is by Jean Ann Wright. Interested in working on this??? Let me know.


I hope to have lots to show you about our class tomorrow~~~~stay tuned!

....and then it snowed!

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
