Quiltique

Up early and there still isn't a cloud in the sky.

If you've never been to Death Valley, put it on your list....

But we are heading out of California, back to Nevada.

For a day spent here.... Quiltique in Henderson.

Making this Granny Squared quilt under the expert guidance of Anita.

Everyone is soon sewing happily.

The classroom is light and cool

And the quilters are, as always, very friendly and helpful. Sandy shared her ruler with us!

And this is what was achieved....

.... despite breaks for country fried chicken and apple pie....

And looooong breaks spent photographing everything in the shop. Quiltique always has lots of inspirational projects. This booth is dedicated to Camille Roskelley, a local quilter.

Her patterns are lovely.

The bag is on the 'to do' list.

Lovely fabric.

Wonky log cabin.

And a cat made with the 'evil tool'.

Lovely hearts...

.... piled up like muffins

Unusual quilts.

Camille's spools...

And mini spools...

Bought the pattern for this one...

A cheerful kite pillow.

A red, white and blue area, might try the cushion.

More Americana...

And an idea for using all of that plastic tablecloth fabric....

More chevrons, they have followed us in almost every shop.

And Camille's latest line, 'miss kate'.

Jolly log cabin.

Sadly it is soon time to say goodbye to our class mates after 8 hours which whizzed by.

Our first visit to Target.

And Neil we found a couple more!!!

The rest of the evening was spent desperately trying to reduce the weight of our luggage so that we can go shopping in Vegas tomorrow!

  2. You know you secretly love the "evil tool". I think the cat came out better than the Witches Hat they had on display at MSQC.
