MQX MidWest coming up fast

Stevie and I went on a short vacation last week to visit

my sister.  Didn't do a lot, but was good to visit with her.  She moved

from Tennessee 40 years ago but I still miss her like it was yesterday.

Now I have to get to work.

Now on to things more important....

I am starting to prepare for my classes at

MQX quilt show which is in Sept at the Crown Plaza

in Springfield, IL.

One that I am excited about (well I'm excited about all of them) 

is my hands on longarm class

"Writing on the Wall"

We are going to make a small wall hanging, similar to this

learning how to mark and work with stencils and templates.

Some ruler work, (a ruler is not required to take the class) 

I will share my rulers for those that do not have one.

We are going to work on some grid work and background fill,

and FEATHERS.  

Don't know how to quilt these things?

Well that's what the class is for.

I will show you how to quilt all of this.

You can use one or more of these techniques on 

every quilt you make.

Don't have a longarm?

That's okay you can do the same thing by hand 

or on your domestic machine.

Please share with your blog friends, Facebook pals,

Twitter whatever you is your communication source.

Hope to see you there!

P.S. There are several nice hotel within walking distance to 

the Crown Plaza

that are less expensive and just as nice.  

Don't let that to keep you from coming.
