We spent our day playing in the scraps!  Trading, laughing, sharing, stitching --- UNSTITCHING ---and laughing some more!

Love Shack is a compilation of tutorials that are found under the free patterns tab – Maverick Stars, Wonky Hearts, Basic String blocks, and Happy Scrappy Houses –mixed with a smattering and spattering of left over Leader & Ender 4 patches from the Bowdacious quilt found in Adventures with Leaders & Enders---and an intro to pieced letters ala Tonya Ricucci and Word Play Quilts!

Love Shack has been a workshop-exclusive pattern, and it’s been nice to have something to offer groups that could not be purchased anywhere else!  It may find a place in a future book down the road and we’ll make it available to everyone then, but for now –it’s a workshop-only extravaganza.

One sample star on the design wall next to the quilt!

We had a couple of great show and shares during class time – including a Celtic Solstice!

Hooray!!

Close up of one corner…beautiful fabrics!

AWESOME backing fabric with Irish and other flowers…how perfect!

I was last here in March of 2013, teaching for a different guild, but the class was ALSO held at Quiltworks!  Read that post HERE.

The workshop was Tulip Fields from my book String Fling, and a completed top made it to class today as show and share!

Carol and her Tulip Fields TOP!  Beautiful!

Close Up of one corner!

This block is an “inside out” version of mine, I have the tulips turned the other way, radiating out with their base corners against the red center cornerstone instead of in the block corners here…but it makes an interesting pattern this way with the red center cornerstones floating!

We stock-piled our units throughout the day and started getting units joined into panels  ---
