Suddenly Sewing Lecture and Workshop

In April we met the wonderful quilters from Suddenly Sewing!!  Owners Michael and Abigail Kralicek were so gracious and Jean was a ball of energy and so much fun...and really good at keeping everyone on track!

The first day, we held two lectures.  We had a huge trunk show featuring quilts from every Turning Twenty book, our Turning Ten book and most of our other books and patterns.  I can never catch pictures of the trunk show because my usual "Photographers", Gary and Michelle, are also my usual "Quilt Holder Uppers"!

I do have pictures of the second day though.  We had such a good time at the workshop!  We had a room full of amazing quilters from beginners to advanced all learning a brand new technique to the Turning Twenty Again pattern.  I can't wait to see their finished quilts.  I'll be sure to post pictures of them as they come in.

In the mean time, here are pictures of the wonderful event we had with Suddenly Sewing.  If you live in the Ft Worth area and have not been to their shop, be sure to stop in and say Hi.  www.SuddenlySewing.com

Learning a quick and easy way to cut fabric for a Turning Twenty quilt

Everyone busy cutting and pressing
Fabric is all cut and sewing begins
Gary and Michelle pressed the fabric so we could keep sewing.
Here is Gary showing off a chain, chain, chain....chain of squares!

Laying them out to get the arrangement "just right".
The colors are just never as accurate or vibrant as they are in person.
This was a gorgeous violet and cream quilt.

Love the colors!  Owner, Michael, picked these colors out for her quilt.
It turned out beautiful!

Mardi Gras!!
Another fun choice of color!

Hard to tell in the picture, but this quilt is full of funky little bugs!
Someone very special is going to enjoy this one!
Jean and me at the end of the day.
What fun!!

Thank you Suddenly Sewing!

 Blessings,
