Here are some pictures from last Saturday’s La Passacaglia Open House at Village Fabric Shop. Absolutely beautiful work…
These rosettes belong to Chris. She found a few new Amy Butler fat quarters to add to her collection. 🙂
Jennifer’s machine appliqued rosettes. She uses a small zig zag with monofilament. It works!
This fabulousness belongs to Joyce. She needed to sew her middle seam together to finish. I received an e-mail from her just a few minutes ago that she was DONE. Yay Joyce!! Now she is shopping for a border….and taking out lots of papers. 🙂
Joyce’s from another angle. So many wonderful quilt memories. We are going to get together to trim it…
Robin walked in with these beautiful rosettes. Awesome! I’m so proud of her!
Andrea’s rosettes. Look at the way she placed her pentagons in the outer rings of the big rosette!
A close-up of Ann’s work.
Ann…
And more Ann! We are going to get together and make a plan so she can begin to add her stars.
Martha Claire’s first rosette.
She is using a jellyroll bundle of gray neutrals for her stars. Such a good idea!
A Katie close-up. All her stars will be the same.
Such a beautiful grouping Katie.
Theresa couldn’t be with us so she sent me this picture. Oh my. So right. She is making great progress and her look is just great! I love her neutral stars.
Ginny was out of town and sent me this picture to share. So so close!!!
And here’s Beverly’s… She said she has five more rosettes!!
Such beautiful work ladies!! You inspire me!!
If this has inspired you, I teach a 4-hour workshop about twice a month at Village Fabric Shop. Check out my class schedule page and come join me.
Machine appliqued…
And finally, here’s a great example of what we go through. These pictures belong to Peggy.
That’s pretty wonderful but what if I do this??
Or maybe this??
Or this combination? I can see all of you nodding “oh yeah, I’ve done that…”
Finally, I think this will work! Thanks for sharing your WIP pictures Peggy!
Center.
Star ring.
Here are Joyce’s rosettes. Remember that each rosette uses fabric from a quilt she has made.
This beautiful big rosette is from her Southern Album fabrics. Happy memories! Joyce is planning to use the same neutral fabric for all her stars.
Katie has a system. 🙂 She furiously preps during class so she can sew at home. (She has three beautiful little children.)
She plans to use dark stars in her rosettes.
Becky has her lower left quadrant almost finished in this picture and we are kind of jealous.
Amazing fussy cutting.
Fowler has two beautiful rosettes and some Heather Bailey stars…
Joyce is making her rosettes from leftovers. Each rosette represents a quilt she has made. How cool is that?? This was her Serendipity Sampler. 🙂
Here’s one of her big rosettes. Look at the weave. You are awesome Joyce.
(Southern Album.)
This one might be my favorite.
Here are the rosettes from our second La Passacaglia workshop. (Next time I will take better pictures. 🙂 Five beautiful beginnings. 
Ginny’s outer ring of stars on her first big rosette.
Beginnings from my very first workshop. So sweet!
Ginny’s first round of stars.
Here are Jackie’s first six rosettes.
What my own design wall looked like on February 7.
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.
