Barb Havlik of Cooperstown wanted to spruce up her lawn chairs so she chose our Hydranga canvas cloth to make new seat and back covers. Her lawn chairs look new!

The Bag ladies

What fun we had making quilted bags in class at Heartworks. Everyone finished their bag in class and we are sure that there will be a lot of bags under the Christmas tree this year!

What a treat! Shirley Evans, a master quilter from the West Winfield NY area, brought her "Spring Bulb" quilt in to show us.

We designed this quilt and taught the applique classes seven or so years ago. It has lots of embroidery and is a real beauty. Shirley asked how many of the folks who took the classes with us have finished their quilts and we don't know, but we sure are curious. If you have a finished bulb quilt bring it in so we can make a "bulb quilt photo gallery".

Sally Bush- Fly Creek,NY

has been busy making football quilts for her son and his three football buddies. All just graduated from college, are headed for jobs and so proud of their new quilts!

 

Mary Beth Laing- Oneonta, NY

"an old friend"

Mary Beth brought a treasure to show us last week! She started with a Laurel Burch Christmas panel and then she made magic. The panel is embellished with beads, stars, glass fancies, gold thread and cording and did I see a tassel?  What was flat, is is now 3D and so beautiful. Our camera just didn't catch the glitz, so look closely, imagine the fancies and watch it pop to life! What a treat.
