Roseburg or Bust!! After a long absence, I’m returning to the Umpqua Valley Quilter’s Guild to teach the Star Storm Class on March 18th! It is a pattern by Victoria Findlay Wolfe, a favorite. We’ll be doing both the 80″ size and the 40″ size in the same day, as the methods are the same. I’ve just spoken to many of the pre-registered attendees, and we are all excited to get started. Venue TBD, so watch here for updates.
The Umpqua Valley Quilters Guild put on a kickin’ quilt show, with classes and special displays, along with so many gorgeous quilts produced by the local quilters. Well, I am teaching a Barn Quilt Painting Class for them on April 28th! It’s a finish-in-a-day type of thing, so you can take home a FINISHED project! Hoo-Ya!!! Make a 2ft by 2ft Barn Quilt with me and learn all the techniques you need to make more on your own!
Thanks to the Umpqua Valley Quilt Guild, I got to spend a fun 3 days in Roseburg, talking (mostly) quilting! The quilters there are very familiar to me since I’ve taught there a couple times in the past, and are so friendly and supportive. A special thanks to Helen and Teri for their organization in putting the show together, and to Margo who was much more than a contact for the vendors, and for me, the Featured Quilter. I’ve included a pic the wonderful sign Teri made for me, I was so surprised to find it in my booth!
The show was well lit, offered some great make-and-take classes and had a nice cafeteria with great food available. There were LOTS of great quilts, I got to spend a bit of time talking with the Best of Show designer and maker as she explained her inspiration and method for the beautiful landscape quilt she made.
Fun weekend, filled with quilters and quilt talk, who could ask for more?
