Upcoming classes

On Thursday August 8 from 10-2 there will be a pincushion class at my studio. Here is a picture of the primitive doll pincushion.

Well, actually I can't show you! If you would like to see her, email me and I'll send you a picture. I am not being coy! I just can't get it to show up! Once again my skills are lacking. We will make a different pincushion every month. Sharon C has a great collection of pincushion patterns so we can go on for years!!

We have been working on


this project out of  the fall issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects. Our next class on Saturday August 31 from 10-2 we will tackle 


from the Anniversary issue Summer 2012. I'd love you to join us.  All classes at my house are $10.00 Includes a light lunch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



For the Prairie Women's Sewing Circle, this Sat. at 10 am, you will receive the pattern for our yoyo quilt. Here is  mine in progress.


I think an actual doll quilt with just yoyos would be very sweet. If you have any yoyo quilts or other projects, please bring them to class and share.

********************************************

I have finished the basket quilt that I taught earlier in the spring. The pattern is by Nancy Friesen. She makes great patterns and it was very satisfying to make. Now to quilt it.



&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


Starting in September I will be having a class making Buttermilk Basin's new patterns called Live Simply. There is a background to make and then monthly smaller quilts to add on. This is my first one. The crow part attaches on with small velcro dots.


They are fun to do and are a great little monthly project. Time will be announced a little later. I think it would be fun to start January in September so that by January, we will be ready to hang them up. Please let me know what you think. 


I thank all of you who come to the classes here and at Pioneer Quilts. I feel such happiness sharing stitching with kindred spirits.

Until next time,

Betty

....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...
