Garden of Quilts!

 This last week has been spectacular!!  I spent the entire week immersed in Quilty Goodness!!  Yup, last week was Garden of Quilts!!  And it was also crazy busy, hence why it has been so quiet on the blog for the last week ;)   I taught 8 classes over 4 days and just loved getting to meet so many amazing quilters and share my passion for quilting with them!!  

Here I am on Day 1 of classes.  Thanks so Cindy Cloward for taking this picture, I was so busy, I hardly took any pictures, surprise, surprise.  I had 3 classes that were full at 24 people, and the other 5 were close to that, so I got to share my Quilting Designs - Patterns with lots and lots of new quilty friends!!  

It is always so fun to see your designs done up in so many different fabric combinations.  Of course, I want to make all of the quilts again with new colors and themes!   And it was just great to teach so many new classes!!  I makes me all the more excited about the new patterns that just released as I got to see them all made into fun blocks in all of the fabrics!!  This was the last class.  One pic on the first day and one on the last, with a whole lot of quilting fun in between!!

And yes, we did make it to see the quilts hanging in the garden on the last day.  We had about 45 minutes until they closed, so we pretty much ran down through the gardens and then ran back as it started to rain. You can see lots and lots of pictures of all the beautiful gardens and quilts here on Instagram or Facebook.    And this is how we spent the evenings ;)  Putting our feet up, doing a little sewing and pressing in the hotel room, and get ready for another day of quilting fun!!  

What a wonderful week!!!  I am already looking forward to next year's Garden of Quilts!!!
