Houston Bound and I haven't stopped squealing with delight:)
So SWIMMING SEAHORSE which I recently taught to the West Pasco QG will be my second class and I didn't want to push both together in one post because I had so many lovely photos to show!
Below you will find photos from the latest Seahorse class and it really shows how different fabric choices change the look.
Here is the original sample made by me:
This is such a great Quilt As You Go technique
that can work for so many things!
We all LOVED the polka dot seahorse!
That is the fun of workshops to me, seeing what
fabrics everyone brings and then the
subsequent, "why didn't I think of that?".
This seahorse has great value and
keeps its soft feel!
You don't have to go bright to
get a good composition.
I say you don't have to go bright but
I LOVE this orange one...what a surprise:)
For those of you that don't know,
I love the color orange:)
Better than the orange seahorse is
the gorgeous smile behind the quilt:)
Marilyn started her
piece in class and once home decided there wasn't enough contrast so I received this pic later in the week where she made a sweet coral seahorse and WOW!
THANK YOU to all the students who gave me permission to photograph their works in progress!!
I love my job and meeting Fantastic students. I really love lunch time when I get to hear the stories behind these quilters. I try to find time to ask, "what did you do in your life before quilting?".
This last class had a Navy Veteran, a retired RN, and a retired Judge who is in her 80s. They are all inspiring to me when I think of the times they lived in and what they accomplished.
Keep quilting ~~
