What a lovely group! I had a fabulous evening with the Seaside Quilters in North San Diego yesterday. After a scenic drive down the coast I met with this talented and friendly group and we had a great discussion about seasonal quilts.
Seaside is an active guild with lots going on. Their Show and Tell featured many projects Linus and other philanthropy quilts… And just some beautiful quilts. If I’m ever in San Diego on the first Tuesday of the month… I’m going back to Seaside Quilters!
Don’t Forget about the OCQG Quilt Show…
I am going to be teaching two new and wonderful classes in Anaheim this Saturday, April 11, 2015. The classes are offered Zion Lutheran Church (222 N East St (Between Lincoln and La Palma), Anaheim, CA) at the Orange County Quilters Guild Fabulous Annual Quilt Show.
In the morning, (8-11 am) we will be talking about hand piecing Pentagon Balls ($20). These round balls have just one pattern piece and are so relaxing and easy to put together, you’ll make bunches! In the afternoon, (1-4 pm) we’ll be Quick Microwave Dying Silk Scarves ($25 includes the scarves and dyes!). These scarves are easy to do and look so elegant! And they make great gifts! Once you learn the simple secrets, you’ll make tons!
Sign up for these Classes (and others) through Kat Benne. You can e-mail Kat at quiltshow@orangecountyquiltersguild.com. For more info and supply lists, click here then scroll down to the grid of classes.
Come and join us for a wonderful day!
Have you seen my patterns on Craftsy? By popular demand, I have finally posted the pattern for my NextGen Quilt. It is so easy to make this quilt! It looks very difficult with all those odd shapes but it is SIMPLE with no templates at all!
Irene made this NextGen with lots of green as background. Isn’t it spectacular?
NextGen adds just one step to the Magic 9-Patch pattern (above, which is also included in this pattern) to make this spectacular quilt.
Check out my NEXTGEN/Magic 9-Patch Pattern on Craftsy!
Recently TLC Guild member JoAnne shared her LOGS! quilt she made in my Yorba Linda class. Isn’t it wonderful in neutrals? JoAnne left off the applique and it isn’t even missed! And the LOGS! pattern is now available on my Craftsy site too!
My LOGS! pattern is sort of an encyclopedia of log cabin blocks…some old, some new, some I just made up!
And that optional appliqué? It looks like it’s on the border but actually it’s added at the block stage. Check out the LOGS! pattern to see what I mean!
