Monday 27 February

Today I am off to Washington DC to present a program and teach a circle of nine workshop for the Mount Vernon Quilters. Details of the events are on my facebook page. I taught the circle of nine workshop this past Saturday in Athens, GA for the Cotton Patch Quilters. Here is a photo of one of the quilts that is almost finished...it only needs an outside border.

Many of the quilters brought a set of nine blocks they had made in previous workshops and some brought block of the month blocks or friendship exchange blocks. They were too, too happy to finish UFO projects that had been languishing in their URO pile for way too long for want of an interesting setting. The circle of nine setting provided a new and creative way to sew the blocks together.

I love these photos with heads hands and sneakers. One more outside border using the focus fabric that was fussy cut for the block centers will finish this charming small quilt.
