Yesterday’s class was fast paced and fun-filled.

I just LOVE it when folks go outside of my color way, choosing their own palette and blazing their own trail!

It is so eye opening to see how other people see things ---inspiring, validating, permission-giving – wide open opportunity to go at it how ever you want to go at it!

If I could give awards –for “seeing things through different eyes” I would definitely give a price to this one!  All blues and aquas with grey and black.  OOOOHHH!!!

This is going to be one STUNNING quilt!

Another fun one, more on the whimsical side:

Animal prints with hot pink and grey!!

The smaller triangles around each center churn dash block will be a rainbow of brights with one block having lime green triangles, one having orange, one having bright blue, etc – so every block will have different animal prints, and a different color of triangles surrounding the center.  ALL will have hot pink center triangles…SO FUNKY FUN!!

Our day was inspired by the whole crayon box as you saw by the machine photos in yesterday’s Iphone-o-Gram post! (And included in the slide show below)

But some things just come best in basic black.

Have you ever seen a Singer 222 Free Arm Featherweight up close?  Joy brought hers in:

The whole bed slides off revealing the free arm space so you can sew things like cuffs and pant legs!

((Do Quilters DO cuffs and pant legs?!?))

Doesn’t it just look funny with no flat bed?!

I don’t have one of these yet – but if one came along at the right price ---do you think I could be persuaded?  SEW FABULOUS!

We had a great time in class ---

The view from the river side park in Granbury yesterday morning for a quick walk before class!

I’m now in Fort Worth – and we will be firing up the machines this morning for a Star Struck workshop with the Fort Worth Quilters Guild, digging into our 2-1/2” strips  and having a great time!
