Our La Passacaglia workshops are in full swing. Wow! Do I have some eye candy for you!! Be inspired and send me your pictures!
We met last Wednesday. Here’s one of Karen’s rosettes.
And another that she started in class. She had several others and I didn’t get a picture of them. Trust me when I tell you she has a great look!
Here are some of Jackie’s rosettes.
My fav.
Joyce came back to class; she was well prepared!
These belong to her. We use foam core board to hold our rosettes until they are sewn together.
She used 1/2 square triangles for the center of this one.
Her fabrics are from all the quilts she has made. This is close to my heart.
This is her Seattle rosette. How special is this??
My fav.
Here’s Beverly S’s first rosette. Yes, that is a fussy cut star. It is so awesome.
And her second. 11 days since her first workshop. I’m betting on her.
Ann couldn’t be at class but I took a picture of her first rosette. I love this!
Fowler came to the Saturday workshop and learned the technique. I’m taking credit for those stitches.
She got along quite nicely.
She sent me this picture. Hooked.
Beverly continues to amaze us.

I worked with her a couple of weeks ago to plan a section of her quilt.
It’s coming along quite nicely wouldn’t you say?

Ginny is her partner in crime.
She has started to add her stars.
Sue came over a few weeks ago to help me plan a section of mine. We came up with this.
I added some “parts.”
Here’s a closeup of that top teal rosette.
And here’s the finished product. Fun!
I’ve started on my second section.
We all know it is all about the tools. Nobody knows more about tools than Joyce M. Here’s her new light.
Here’s the box it came in because I know you all want one.
Here’s her new Superbob of colors. I am very jealous of this.
Next workshop is Sunday, April 3 from 2:00 until 6:00. The Wednesday workshop will meet on April 20 from 10:00 until 2:00. The Saturday workshop will meet on April 30 from 10:00 until 2:00. Come join the craziness!!!

Carol’s first rosette from the Saturday workshop.
Katie’s first rosette.
So here’s Beverly’s first big rosette. She has decided it will be the center of her upper left quadrant. I could look at this all day. We met for a little while today at Trailer Stash Fabrics just to “take inventory.”
These are the other rosettes she has finished. Her job is to arrange several of them around that first big rosette.
So she did. Crazy fun.
Now she has to choose “star points” to blend all the cogs together. She picked a few fabrics today; she is well on her way.

All hand quilted. It’s a well-loved treasure.
