Is this quilt familiar to any of you? It is a quilt from Gwen Marston's book "Ideas and Inspirations, Abstract Quilts in Solids." I am so excited about this quilt because I get to go and have what I have been calling "my sabbatical"... I am going to Gwen's class next month in Sisters!!! Woo-hoo!
How about this quilt?? It is a liberated wedding ring quilt by Freddy Moran... and I get to take that class too! I am also excited about the ladies from Gee's Bend attending this year and giving a lecture. I think that they are bringing some quilts to see....SO EXCITED!I am going to stay in lovely downtown Bend for the week. (well, for 5 days by myself and than the boy crew will come and join me for the weekend.) Last year when I found out that Kaffe Fassett was talking in Sisters, I nearly had a heart attack...but I was too late to sign up, I was so sad. This year when I found out about Gwen and Freddie coming, I had to sign up, and for most of January I was in a cold sweat, hoping that I had got in early enough. Then, when I received my packet in the mail, I almost passed right out. I got my 2 first choices....and I get to be alone and quilt for 5 days!!! Oh how much fabric to bring?? What to quilt?? I am so excited. I am going to savor this time, I think it will be my last time alone for awhile. A last HURRAH before #3 lands.
One last note there is one day left to get in on the 3 yr blog birthday giveaway... we will be drawing tomorrow at 7:00 pm PST, you can read more about it here. Enjoy, I love reading your comments!
