Paducah Quilts

This first quilt was the winner. Notice the second picture is the back of the quilt. Amazing!!!!

Quilt Week Begins

Mom and I had our class today with Edyta Sitar.  We were all making a table runner called Greenhouse.  I learned so much from Edyta.  Her fusible applique technique was amazing.  Hope I can remember half of the tips she gave us when I get home.

She is as sweet as her quilts.

She showed me a new type of binding and I also learned how to do her crackle quilting.

Enjoy!

Super Quilter!!!

Look....Up in the air...It's Super Quilter

Eleanor Burns Quilt In A Day Class

What a fun class we had today with Eleanor Burns.  

This was a highlight of our trip!!!

She is such a sweet lady.  She really acts just like she does on TV.

Teachers Pet

This was mine for the day.  What a pleasure.

We made the quilt called the Melon Patch out of her new book Quilts from El's Kitchen.  I only got one patch complete but it should go together quick when I get home.  Tomorrow we are making a table runner with Edyta Sitar.  I first heard about her when I saw her on a quilt show on TV.  Another busy day tomorrow.  ENJOY

We made it!!!!

Our hotel is actually in a town called Metropolis.  Its just over the river from Paducah in Illinois.

This statue is in front of the court house.

This place is amazing.  I'm sure we will visit a few times before we leave.

One of these are coming home with me.  I just can't decide which one???

Tomorrow we have our Eleanor Burns Quilt In A Day class. 

I am looking forward to meeting her.

It's still winter here

We are in our way to Paducah. We are going to tour Nashville today. We are in a town about 30 miles out called Murfreesboro.

Pillows Finished!!!

I had just enough fabric left to make these two pillows.

Everyone needs sofa pillows to match their tablecloth.

I used the same pattern as the tablecloth except I made a envelope closure on the back.  And of course I made it much smaller.  It worked out just the way I wanted it to.
Love it when that happens!!!
Enjoy
