Class @ Home Ec Workshop, JUN 8 & 15, 2013

SATs JUN 8 & 15, 10A-1P, Home Ec Workshop , Iowa City Come Celebrate the UNSTR8! June is bustin' out all over!  Learn to make this wonderful quilt pattern by Pam Rocco.  Work toward a finished 50" x 50" quilt in this 6-hr class, or take the top home and make three more to construct a quilt fit for a QUEEN!  Perfect gift for a bun in the oven or for someone you love bunches!  Whimsical and loose: recovering perfectionists welcome!  Emily   Linzee Maureen  Lisa So great to see each student's personality shine through in the quilts.  What a fun quilt, class and group of students!  Great job everyone! Me  I eventually machine-quilted this sample and gave it to my niece, Jessica, for her daughter - my great niece, Bella Rose.  Here she is wrapping herself up, peek-a-boo style, at her soon-to-be-cousin's baby shower in Kansas City, MO.

"One Life" - finally complete

Sketch of initial idea More detailed quilt map Getting started  On a roll Progress! Late one cold winter night, I finished the bottom portion of the quilt. This is the point where I hit a creative block.  It took three failed attempts to figure out how to finish off the remainder of the quilt.  Taking inspiration from tilework under the eaves of Frank Lloyd Wright's Dana Thomas House , Springfield, IL, I've finally been able to move forward and much closer to finishing this piece!   Almost there... Eight months later...One Life (top only) - finally pieced! Monday, July 29, 2013!  Next stop: hand-quilters.
