More Mary Ellen seminar

Happy Thanksgiving
This quilt is one that I made in a Mary Ellen Hopkins consumer seminar in Chicago in 1989. That was the only time she did one near here, most were held in LasVegas. She didn't care for the union tactics in Chicago.
She sold us the large floral print for one of the background fabrics and it was used in hers in her book "Connecting Up". This pattern is bow ties and was really fun to make. She was writing the book when we did the seminar so we were her test people.

Calendar quilt


Amy mentioned that they were so neatly stacked. Last year I had the hardwood floor refinished in my studio so everything came out and then all back in again. This gave me the opportunity to sort and restack all of the batiks. Now when I want one in the middle, I generally take down the whole stack that is above it so I don't mess it all up pulling pieces out. She also asked how much I buy. I usually buy 1/2 yard now because I like to make multi-fabric quilts. Occasionally there is one that I have to have more of. By the time I make my 1-1/2", 2", and 2-1/2" cuts I only have 1/3 yard left to put on the shelf when I purchase 1/2 yard.

Smoky salmon and charcoal
I have been refolding and restacking all of my quilts to try to straighten the house for a wedding shower next Saturday. I normally have a pile of quilts on a bench in my dining room and I need the bench for seating.

Here are a couple close up shots of the fabrics used and a more true color than the first picture.
The sun is shining today after a couple gray days but it is cold here in northern Illinois.

Sorting through the pieces
I sorted through some piles and found this group of colorwash pieces waiting to be quilted. They are all small and if I got busy, not one of them would take over 2 or 3 hours to finish. I guess I need to start a "to do" list and stick to it.

Birthday almost over
I will be eating out with my 3 sisters-in-law on Friday. That way my birthday was spread out from Friday to Friday. In fact one of my SIL has the same birthday as me so that makes it even more fun.
It was a relaxing day, and no, no party for me.
Happy Birthday to me

Have a happy day everyone!
