Great class with award winner!
Great classes with award winning Cathy Wiggins from North Carolina! Took a whole cloth design class as well as an art class about perspective. They were both great and I can now draw a box and a house in correct perspective. Here is a picture of Cathy. You might remember her from her clown quilt and the witch quilt.
Here are her quilt entries from this year. Both winners!
Last night we had a great program from Rickie Tim’s, one more Sharon Schamber class this morning then Bonnie and I will be winging our way home .

Wichita is jumping with quilters!
Another great day at MQS! Super class with Sharon Schamber! Always a great opportunity! Working on feather techniques after we turned one of the Handi Quilter machine heads around – the tech had installed it backwards (must be a newbie)
Had a great time and learned lots!
Always having fun here. Tomorrow is a class with Cathy Wiggins, looking forward to that too.

Having fun here in Wichita!

Feathers are Flying
Beautiful king size quilt. Love the colors.
. Laying across the Longarm it looks wonderful but check out the close-ups.
It was fun to quilt. I would call this a medium custom quilt. It has custom borders and blocks but does not have background fill. Makes it a little less expensive than a custom heirloom. Looks great though!

Disaster Assistance Team
Well, yesterday totally required a Disaster Assistance Team…part of the days disaster was loosing my so terrific picture of friends Sandy and Judy standing next to a truck advertising Disaster Assistance Team. Sigh…
Left early morning for a trip up to Montgomery Texas to meet a quilting buddy and her hubby, Sandy and Gerald. Going to visit and bring home a wonderful batting rack that Sandy was kindly donating my way. Almost made it when my baby, my cream white SUV decided it wouldn’t go further. Beautiful weather, sunny with a nice breeze, and there we sat! Onstar was great, that is after nearly an hour of convincing the obviously new employee that I was indeed 12 miles from I45 and did not need to be towed to Austin, 3 hours away. What can I say, she was obviously very new and trying hard. Eventually the tow truck came and off went my baby. It now sits at Buckelew Chevy in Conroe Tx. The good thing about that was that the serviceman, CW, lives on my end of town and gave us a ride back to a stafford, Tx. Looking on the bright side! Had a great time visiting with Sandy and Gerald!
Ok, back to quilting. Here is the result of my pin wheel experiment from a few days ago. I will use it as a table topper when I get it quilted. I do like it though. The method worked really well, although it needed to be heavily starched to avoid mis shapen blocks due to the bias’.
Also finished a wonderful Texas bluebonnet quilt which will wing its way to its new home next week. Can you see the wonderful quilted bluebonnet a? I love them
Off to see a lady about her tshirt quilt.
Bee happy, Karen
