We had a class reunion last Saturday at Sew Original. It’s hard to describe how beautiful the quilts were. You really have to see them! We are planning on a January 2020 reunion and I’ll be in touch!
Joyce’s. Custom quilted by Laura Davies.
Sandra G’s. Waiting to be quilted by Theresa DeWalt…
Her bride.
Cydney’s black and white. She’s working on her borders.
Jane’ P’s. Headed to Theresa DeWalt this week…
Chris has four blocks and she’s working on the sashes. Chris finishes.
Micol’s. Quilted by Wendy Hughes.
Knife edge border.
Dot’s. Also knife-edged and I’m sorry I didn’t get a picture of it. Quilted by Wendy Hughes.
Ginny P’s. Planning to knife edge her border and she’s saving up for the quilting. hahaha So am I Ginny, so am I.
Linda S’s. Linda couldn’t be there and she made arrangements for me to have her quilt. Thank you Linda!
Jane F’s. Jane was out of town but I had her quilt! Thanks Jane.
Here’s Conni’s beautiful top. She decided to stay in Boone where it’s not quite so HOT.
I’ll see everybody for our January 2020 reunion. Keep stitching and keep me posted!!
This bride belongs to Chris. Green pantaloons!
Kelly’s first block. Vase is A+. 🙂 Lots of beautiful color combinations in this block.
Micol’s blocks with her hexie sashes. Micol is sewing the hexies and posts into rows and then attaching them to the blocks. It’s a great idea. 
Here’s her third block. Those white daisies…
Jane’s first three blocks and her hexie sashes. She’s saving the hexie stitching while she watches UNC’s basketball games. 🙂
Her third block. Soft beautiful colors.
Conni’s progress!
Conni’s third block. Great mix of solids, batiks, prints. I love it!
Her bride. It’s one of my favorites. I love her gray hair.
Jennifer’s third block. I can look at this block and tell she is enjoying it!
Sandi’s blocks. Great fabric choices!! Of course I forgot to take a picture of just her third block.
And last but certainly not least….Dot’s blocks! Insane progress. She is an inspiration!!
These belong to Sandra. She has finished all her blocks and prepped her corner posts.
Her 4th block.
Another close-up. 🙂 We all have quilt envy.
Joyce’s Christmas Bride and Bloom. She’s auditioning her hexie sashes.
Her 4th block. Queen of fussy cutting.
Her beautiful angel face, halo and outlined wings. 
Jane’s four blocks. She is also auditioning her hexie sashes. I love the consistency of her leaves and the intensity of her color choices!
Her 4th block. We loved it!
Kay’s four big blocks and some of her hexie sashes. Show and tell is so inspiring!
LOVE this block.
Cydney couldn’t be with us again because the weather wasn’t cooperating so she sent us this beautiful picture.
Sheila’s third block. She is using traditional fabrics and we loved her look. She’s using a collection and dipping into her stash.
All three blocks. She is going to make one hexie sash to see if she likes the look. 🙂 Love, love, love her bride.
Ginny’s third block. A huge splash of color!! The shelf is genius. She’s using a light background with a pink polka dot.
Beverly’s third block. ..surrounded by many hexies. So much thought went into her fabric selections. We loved her shelf too!
Unleash the hexies!! It’s beautiful Bev! Light background with a gray dot.
Here’s Linda’s third block. Check out the ladybug fussy cuts. Did I mention I taught her how to applique?? 🙂 Light gray print background. Such clear colors.
She has prepped all her hexies. She needs to assemble the rows. The hexies are perfect.
She has finished her three blocks and all the posts! On to the hexies!!
Cydney planned on being there but had a change in plans. She sent me pictures; thanks Cydney! Her bride block.
Block #1.
Block #4. That vase fabric…
One more picture! Jane sent this photo over the holiday. She’s well on her way and we will see her blocks in the 4th Wednesday class in a couple of weeks. Yay Jane!
Joyce M’s block. Christmas fabrics. Glorious fussy cutting.
Sandra G’s block. Did I mention I taught her how to applique? hahaha
Debbie G’s bride. Awesome leggings. A+ background choice.
Kay S’s block. So much right about this block!
Jane F’s block. It glows!
Dot. LOVE LOVE LOVE
Sue J. Kaffe. Perfect.
Chris. Love her yellow background!
I stitched the stem and leaves for my first block. Then I started adding “stuff.”
I ended up with this. I decided the vase fabric wasn’t right so I changed it…
…to this. Not a huge difference but I like it.
Trying out some leaves for my second block.
From the pattern…
…to the fabric.
I pinned her parts together. Remember paper dolls?? I used an Amy Butler fabric for her pinafore.
Almost ready to stitch her together. I really don’t like sticking pins in her.
She got moved to the small foam board mat. I thought about removing her pantaloons but decided to leave them.
Here she is all stitched up! She does have a face! I’ll show you in the next post.
Same process for the 4th block. I stitched the stem and glued down the leaves.
I prepped all the pieces.
And here’s the final block.
And here are all four of them on my sewing room floor. We will talk more about that hexie sashing later. 🙂
This one belongs to Joyce, the queen of fussy cutting. She used a variety of Tula Pink’s fabrics. She replaced the piano key border with two inner borders and a one-fabric outer border. Beautiful.
This pastel beauty belongs to Beverly. She used a variety of Heather Bailey fabrics. Her teal berries and that dark pink fabric give this quilt continuity. BTW, Ginabean Quilts custom quilted all of these. Love.
This is Beverly’s SECOND Serendipity Sampler. She used lots of Amy Butler and pulled from her collection of beautiful brights. It is a show stopper.
Here’s the one that started it all. 🙂 This belongs to me; I made it a long time ago. My friend Sue, “reinterpreted it” in modern fabrics and we were off! Thank you Sue!
Her “proposed” circles. We like. 🙂
Mary Ann’s beauty. Mary Ann repeated the same fabrics. It’s a very soothing center.
Patchwork inner border and gray Joel Dewberry outer border. Love.
Here’s a closeup of Mary Ann’s petals and plumes. It does not get any better than that!
Ann’s center. We were absolutely wild about this one. She’s using the Alison Glass border as her inspiration. Check out the different colors in her four bulbs/petals/plumes. Fabulous.
The circles and leaves are just cut-outs. She was “experimenting.” We all do that! 🙂
She’s making two….
Here’s the center with her border fabric. She fussy cut those thistles as one piece. They look like little owls. Perfect.
A closeup of the border fabric. LOVE.
Here’s the progress from another class. They are just finishing the “Tinkertoy centers.” Here’s Kay’s color palette. What is not to love about this one??? So glad you are joining us Kay!
Here’s Alice’s center. Wait until next month! She is on her way to wonderfulness.
Helen’s center. She’s using the same border fabric as Mary Ann for her inspiration. She’s just adding a little coral for some fun. So proud of her!
Becky’s stick center. 🙂 That’s a printed background folks. Such a good choice! Just wait until next month.
