My Penelope Mini!!

 So last year at the Quilty Friends Retreat , along with teaching a few classes, I also took one.  It was the Posh Penelope class taught by our amazing local quilt shop owner Kim!!!  The class was oh so much fun!!!  This is a pattern by Sew Kind of Wonderful that uses their Quick Curve Ruler ;)   I finished one block in class and now it is almost a year later, the Quilty Friends Retreat is next week, and we take what we worked on the previous year and share . . . and this is what I am sharing!!!

Yup, I took that one block from class and made it into a mini.   I knew I just didn't have time to make this into a giant quilt, and so I purposely made it my favorite purple so I could turn it into a mini to add to my sewing room wall.   And yes, although I knew for a year that I was going to make this into a mini, I actually quilted and bound it yesterday.   Nothing like a sharing deadline to get something done ;)  But doesn't it just look so cute next to my machine. 


It will be fun to share this next week, especially standing next to Barbara with her Queen size version!!!  I am just so excited for this Quilty Friends Retreat!!  I just miss teaching so much.   The classes will be a little smaller to allow distancing, and we are all wearing masks, but it is still just going to be amazing to get to sew with people again.  I can't wait!!!


I hope you all are having a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!

  3. Well done! I love it! And, it looks great on your purple wall. I can see that seeing it will bring you joy everyday as you sit down to sew. (Looks great with your scrappy basket, too!)
