Happy St. Patrick's Week to all. Working on Celtic Knots this week as one of our quilts blocks in our Lynn Edwards sampler quilt. Will learn to make bias tpae and do intricate knots. So exciting!
Have been busy cutting and cutting and cutting getting ready for the Quilters Guild of Ireland Retreat next weekend at Jacksons Hotel in Ballybofey. So looking forward to 3 days of fun quilting and getting to meet up with quilters from all over Ireland.. Hope to learn lots of new skills to bring back to our classes. Will post pictures of our creations so keep looking here.

Spring Is Coming!!

Feb. 29,2012 - Yea, we get an extra day to quilt this year. What a treat. Classes have been buzzing with new blocks each week as we build our Lynn Edwards sampler quilt. We are learning new techniques each week - some we like, others will be put on the shelf for the time being. All are enjoying hand quilting each block. and with practice we are getting better at it. Each block is more beautiful than the last and the variety of colors make each quilt unique. What a wonderful way to express out creativity!
