Bonnie's Trunk Show

Here are some pictures from Bonnie Hunters Trunk Show.  There were so many people there it was hard to get good pictures.  Most of the quilts were king size.

 This first quilt explained what size to cut your strips into.

I Met Bonnie Hunter!!!

I was very excited to meet Bonnie.  I follow her blog daily.  I watch her on QuiltCam and she is everything expected.  If you have never been to her website check it out.  There is a link on the right side of my main page.  Her website is called Quiltville.  She is a fantastic quilter and likes to use up scraps and shares most of her patterns.
 The quilt behind us is the Pineapple Blossom using 1.5" strips instead of 2.5" strips like Mom and I used.
This was just a quarter of the class.  Can you find me and my mom?  We weren't able to sit at the same table but we were close.  The ladies we met were so nice.

I was so happy when one of the ladies asked Bonnie to show us how to De-Bone a shirt and she did.  This is her De-boning a shirt for us.  Here is the link of her doing it on her website.  She says gets a lot of fabric from a mans XL or XXL shirt. It seems like a lot of work but she did it quite quickly.  I may have to try it if I see a shirt I like.

Mom and I even had the chance to go to dinner with Bonnie and a few of the other ladies.  What a great time.

BAGS, BINS & BOOK COVERS


I guess it's about time I post all the things I was making for Christmas and couldn't show.


This is my daughter's new baby "Draco"







I have lost count of how many of these bags I have made.  I'll guess about 30. I just love them!!
