Sewing with Bonnie Hunter

Bonnie Hunter

Debby , Bonnie and Kim at "Cathedral Star" workshop joyfully  taught by Bonnie.

I'm in awe of Bonnie Hunter's ability to travel, teach with such enthusiasm, cheer us all on,
look at all our quilts that we brought for show and tell, blog about it all, and still end the day with "now I get to go sew", she couldn't wait to relax and sew in her quiet hotel room.  This must be how she recharges her batteries to do it all again.  Thank You Bonnie it sure was fun!

Will I ever finish this block

 

I'm linking up over at Judy's because honestly I have spent so much time on this block it could have been a quilt!

Happy sewing, Kim

My Gee's Bend style small quilt

Mary Ann Pettway signature on my quilt along with

  Mary Ann Pettway was making a quilt at our retreat and I went around and picked up the scraps she put back in the pile and made a small quilt that I thought might have a Gee's Bend feel.  Both the ladies generously signed my little quilt.
Now to hand quilt it Mary Ann style.
