I am only uploading a few pictures from the two classes we had with national quilter Jan Krentz. She was awesome to take a class from. Jan likes to give as much personal attention as she can. She is very prepared for class and wants to make sure every particpant comes out with a great experience. She suggests we take pictures with the digital camera and look at the designs through the lens. Amazing what you see through the camera. I will upload all the pictures we took to shutterfly. Check them out there. We took many pictures of the quilts in progress...as we moved the fabrics around to make our final decisions. We should have some great show and tell coming up. Check it out on: http://commonthreadsquiltguild.shutterfly.com/

Quilt Show Featured Quilter

Diana Heinemeyer was our Featured Quilter for the 2010 Quilt show. I took these pictures after I had uploaded the show pictures.

October Meeting Show and Tell 2010

Where is the year going... The year is slipping by fast, but still some of our members have been using the time wisely and getting things done. Peggy worked on getting all her patchabilities done (two years of kits) All I can say is WOW! Cheryl had some beautiful quilts too. She told us she was trying to use her 5 inch squares that we exchanged...um... probaby 5 years ago. Then she showed us her paper pieces double wedding ring quilt. Ok, not what most of us will do with our 5 inch squares. We will just name her "Over achiever". Great Job, Cheryl!

Connie had some quilts from her daughter, Nicole. Connie is quilting them for her. VERY FUN! Jackie showed her brown bag quilt set in the BQ fashion. She changed it up a bit, it looks real nice!

I hope to include pictures later this month from our National Quilting Teacher : Jan Krentz. I have heard some people say, "Oh that Hunters Star pattern looks too hard. I don't want to take the class" The best time to take the class is when you have an expert to help. We intend to learn a lot from Jan and will have a social at my house Friday night with her. 7 pm. You don't have to take the class to stop by and meet her. Consider putting that on your schedule. Also consider taking a class!
