Tina's Bargello

Bargello made by Tina

Great batiks and color choices. Quilted with Fantastico variegated thread in teals by Superior Threads. Batting is Quilter's Dream Wool. 

Quilting design is New Wave

and it's reversible! This is the back of the quilt pieced from the scraps from the top...

Isn't it great!?!

Gorgeous quilt Tina! Thank you :0)

I took a pic of the backing loaded on the longarm, it felt so weird!

 Even Micheal walked in my studio and questioned what I was doing loading a quilt top first! See, he does pay attention! That's my guy :0) 

Having the best weekend at Goldie's Good Times Weekend. An entire weekend of quilting with a classroom full of quilters at Honey Run Quilters at Cathy's Sew & Vac. Most of us are working on UFOs, today I finished a top I started last year at a Linda Ballard workshop. Yea! Tomorrow is show and tell, pix will be posted on my blog Ramblin' Rose.

Enjoy your weekend, 

tot ziens, Jo

Beautiful Bargello by Dianna

Bargello made by Dianna in Autumn colors

How gorgeous is this quilt!!!

A labor of love

I first met Dianna in Honey Run Quilters last year

as she was picking fabrics for this quilt top. 

 Dianna added a double flange to her borders

made with two colors of Radiance. The Radiance was

added to the blocks as well which really shows off the quilting.

Dianna embroidered family names along the bottom border. 

A matching pillow quilted with the same design

using a Glide thread in Desert Sunset for the top

and Gold in the bobbin to match the Minkee backing

Love how the quilting looks on Minkee

Dianna found this extra wide Minkee at Honey Run Quilters

which was perfect with no seams! Yea

Thank you Dianna

Sandy's quilt is also finished this week as well as one for Betty delivered yesterday during a wonderful workshop with Lynn Wilder of Sew'n Wild Oaks. Lynn posted a pic on her blog as our guest speaker during her lecture on Thursday at Annie's Star Quilt Guild meeting in Chico, CA. Here is the link. Lynn also included a link to her HST video taped on The Quilt Show. Friday was Lynn's Patchwork Math workshop. We had a good turn out and it was so much fun! 

It was really wonderful to meet Lynn and take her workshop. I've been following Lynn's blog for some time and it was really cool to meet! Thank you Lynn and Gail, her partner and sister. It was a wonderful meeting and workshop. I learned so much and am looking forward to putting that math to work very soon. Today however, was a day of working at the longarm to make up for taking yesterday off. Stay tuned for more about the workshop with pix on Lynn's blog as well as on my blog Ramblin' Rows.

Enjoy your weekend! 

Tot Ziens, Jo
