“Lily” Quilt Class in Starkville

Yesterday I took my accordion style “design wall” to Starkville to teach a “Lily” workshop for the Golden Triangle Quilters.

This is my sample “Lily” that we made in class.

Most of the ladies finished fusing their tops and a lot of them got a good start on the quilting.

      

It was so interesting to see the different variations that each person used to make their quilt unique.

Harvesting Corn, Lily, and Bubbled Double Nine Patch

Life … on the farm

Quinten gets the combine ready for the day.

Cutting corn and unloading it into a grain cart.

Bronson and Gabriel hauled the corn away as fast as Quinten could cut it.

Ashton loved riding with Gabriel for a while.

Uh-oh! Problems in the wiring harness.

The ground is gradually turning red from the bees wings of the corn kernels.

After a windy day there was actually a drift of bees wings on the east side of the shop.

Paul gave the neighbors a ride after a hard day’s work.

… as a Quilter

Today I fixed up my mobile design walls in preparation for Saturday’s “Lily” Workshop in Starkville.

I have started quilting my “Bubbled Double Nine Patch.”

  

Small Fiber Art Composition

Now what shall it be?

Ebb and Flow?

Swimming Lanes?

Man with a Walking Stick?

Twisted Cords?

 

Dimensions: 9.75” X 6.75”
Cotton Fiber
Heavily quilted with Superior Thread
Fused applique
$45
Ready for hanging with “Fast Finished Triangles.”

Notice how the composition wanted to buckle after I added the binding.

Soaking the fibers with water and drying it flat solved the problem.

Now that it’s all basted, I have begun to quilt my “Bubbled Double Nine Patch.”
