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!

Camping in the Rain

 Hello Everyone,  We went camping at Barview Jetty a little while ago and it rained almost all the time we were there! On the way it was necessary to stop here at our favorite fish shop! Best shrimp, sauce, and clam chowder that we have found.  Excellent. We went there on the way to camp and on the way home. Even thought it rained so much, the clouds were spectacular. The sand had some cool patterns We had friends that camped next to us and we ate really well.  Some reading and stitching were also part of our days. A couple weeks ago we went to McIver park to camp. Again it rained almost the whole time we were there. Same friends kept us entertained and we continued with our eating really well. This is a reflection in the lake of the sun trying to come out. Mamma ducks and babies were enjoying the break in the rain. We have found out that our beloved Oscar has Prostate cancer and Cushings disease. It's a sad blow as we lost both our Silkies last year. We don't know how long we

Coming out of hibernation

 I decided it was time to bring my blog back to life. I thought about it for some time and decided it would be so nice to connect with friends again even if it's just with words. I have mostly enjoyed being at home and catching up with reading and sewing. My Etsy shop is doing well and I would like to share some of the things that are currently available.                                        I bought this tin in The Netherlands when I was recently there visiting my daughter and her family. They took me to a very cool old antique shop and they have Lots of tins. The shop had so many things that I would have liked to take home. But Not possible. This is another one! It's been fun finding things to put in the sewing boxes. They are listed in my Etsy shop thequiltingbshop.Etsy.com There are lots of size 12 Valdani Thread available too. A few of the ones that I just listed I brought home some beautiful French floss that is paired up with some wool squares and some that are listed
