"Starry Starry Night" retreat.....I'm teaching!



I'm so happy that Corrie & Des, of Quilt Taffy, asked me to teach a Lone Star quilt class at their upcoming 2015 fall retreat in September.
You can read all about it here....on their craft taffy blog.

I'm Teaching at Craft Taffy
 
It's going to be in this amazing old lodge in McCall, Idaho. 
I've gone the past two years and I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world.

I'll be teaching the Lone Star technique and once you understand how its put together, the "Starry, Starry" sky's will be the limits! 
I will have a couple of models to chose from.
You can either make a scrappy looking quilt top, 70" x 70", out of one jelly roll like this one of mine:
 

Or you can make a traditional planned looking quilt top, 70" x 70" or larger, like this one of mine:
(mine is a queen size)


I will have instructions for you at the retreat. 
You can contact me ahead of time for the materials lists.
(skill level:  intermediate)

 
Love the old rusty hinge on this barn door.
 
 
I pieced my backing with Denyse Schmidt prints.
 

My queen size Lone Star out of Fig Tree prints. 

 
I'll be sending a little flyer with the information on the retreat with your finished quilts.
You should consider joining us for the "Starry Starry Night" fun!

  2. Well, shoot! That's only a three-hour drive for me, but that's my busy Day Job Season, and we're having our retreat the next weekend. Maybe you could take an extended leave from your quilting frame and jog over to Stanley for our retreat!
