Quilty Fun Progress

Here are some shots of the Quilty Fun Class from Thurday. 

They are really coming along! 

Some of them are even all the way out to the border stage! 

Apples! 

Sherry is peeking at us from behind her coffee mugs!

Paula is all set for the outer border.

A busy week!

So far this week we have a had a fun 'Meet and Greet" event hosted by the Tri-County Quilt Guild held at the shop, and a fun Sweatshirt class but that's only the beginning because the

Greater Houston Shop Hop Starts tomorrow!! 

It will be from Wednesday March 30- Saturday April 2! 

Participants receive a free original pattern at each shop and if they complete and turn in their passports before the end of the hop they are eligible for thousands of dollars in prizes! 

It's going to be a lot of fun. Click here for more information!

We hope to see everyone shop hopping over the next few days!

Beginner 9 Patch

Beginner 9 Patch is taught by Patsy Mosby at the shop. It meets multiple times and walks a new quilter through the whole process of making a quilt! We have seen this pattern done many, many times over the years and it always amazes me how it is simple, can be done is all different colors, and it always looks great! These were the most recent 9 patch graduate quilts!

These ladies did a great job! 

Keep on Quilting!

Desert Sky Graduates

These folks are on their last day for the "Desert Sky" class taught by Carolyn. They have learned paper piecing and curved piecing, and have these beautiful blocks arranged for final placements in their quilts. 

Looks like fun!  

 Mr. Dixon is ready to complete this quilt. Yup he is a quilter ladies!

Connie's blocks look great in the earth tones. 

She has a foot injury so she couldn't stand for the photo but her quilt looks great! 

 Val is arranging her blocks in a colorwash blending from blue to green. 

The effect is really stunning!

Solvi's earth tones with pops of red and gold really shine.

Congratulations everyone! 

Fun around the shop!

It's time to start thinking about the Greater Houston Quilt Shop Hop! This year it begins on March 30 and ends on April 2. Participants try to visit all 9 participating shops, collect all 9 stamps on their passports which are submitted at the end making them eligible for prizes!

We have a fun Texas theme this year. Check out the shop hop's website here for more information!

Bargello

Today we had the second part of our Bargello class at the shop taught by Kathy Ryan. We got to snap these pictures of their progress towards the end. Love seeing these quilts come together with those melding colors!

 It's cool that Candy and Ida chose very different colorways so we can see how these quilts work well in all different ways! 

Thank you Candy for the fun photo op! 

Can't wait to see these quilts finished!
