trip to Paducah

Last week, about 12 from the Lake Oconee Quilt Guild went to Land Between the Lakes for a retreat prior to the Paducah Quilt Show. We stayed at a lodge about 25 miles from Paducah and it was an easy drive to the show on Wednesday and Thursday. We snuck in a trip on Tuesday to see Eleanor Burns and shop in her tent of 5 dollar/yard fabric. The first 3 days we had Margie Engle lead the workshops on different fusible applique techniques. The 12 of us were joined by quilters from Louisiana, North Dakota, and Tennessee. So much fun!! I'll work on finishing some of the projects and maybe do a demonstration.
The project I have been working on for our meeting is the next row on the medallians. I know this takes more time than just doing a block a month but we needed something different.

I added a ribbon to the big triangle that I already had bought for something else but never used and it is the perfect color and size. Don't you love it when that happens.

I did a ribbon border around my small medallian.

April update

I just posted a picture of a few of our blocks that will make our Museum quilt. It will be interesting to hear Frances Brooks present at our meeting next month about the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum. This has been fun to work together and see everybody be pleased with the process. Thank you to everyone for your participation and excitement.

I put a schedule of the meetings for the rest of year on the web site. We are working on getting more pictures. Thanks for your patience. Let me know if you can think of any more pages that would be helpful.

I am working on my medallian. When I get to the lake I will show you the pictures. Looking forward to seeing yours. Bring them to show and tell whenever you get some done.
