Marie Spadaro

Marie Spadaro is teaching at Tumbleweed! Her first class here will be on February 15!
These first two wallhangings are samples of what you can make in class using a fused appliqué technique.
This flower is one of my favorites, but it's hard to pick!
She did a lot of different designs before Christmas,
some I have already shown on my blog.

She brought in this one today to show us. Come in and see her samples and sign up for class! Try it, you'll have fun!

Misc.

Willie finished her hexagon purse! Very cute!!
Here's Willie's scrap quilt that she said used up most of her scraps.
Here's another picture of it. It reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright for some reason. I like it!
This is the back, as usual Willie pieced it. That helps keep the scraps under control!
Carol Lagg made this quilt for her granddaughter, rylie. She plans to give it to her for her 5th birthday!
Ruth took the elephant from Valerie Well's fabric and made an adorable pull toy out of it!

Catch Up

Back in October, Diane showed us her finished "Cape Cod Quilt" that she had added to with some of her own personal blocks! She hand quilted it!
Kathleen had her top finished and was getting ready to hand quilt it! The flag is at half staff because she was working on the house block on 9/11/01.
This very cute little girl named Sadie Rose modeled her car seat cover that her Mom had made! It looked very cozy!
Priscilla Winter made a sampler throw quilt with her "Farmer's Wife Sampler" blocks!
Sue Latis had this pretty green quilt to show us one Wednesday night!
She also made this jelly roll quilt!
Sue McKinley had her jelly roll quilt to show us!
Tricia had the Cape Cod Quilters Raffle Quilt to show us! It's beautiful!

Quilts

Pat Lauter-Evans hand appliquéd this quilt to give as a wedding gift.
Nancy was at the store for Jo Morton Club and had this to show everyone. Nice job!
Louise Toler made this quilt for her daughter's bed and breakfast.
The second quilt was made as a present-the custom quilting was exquisite!

Quilts

Sally seemed quite comfortable on the floor while laying out the rows of her quilt.
Here's another look.
Charlotte brought in her version of the same design. I like seeing how the same design looks in different color combinations!
It's from one of Kaffe's books. Now I should tell you which one, but that would involve me getting up from here and going to my sewing room and looking through a lot of Kaffe books to find out which one it if from. Of course when I took the pictures of Sally's and Charlotte's quilts I could have written it down. That would've been too easy and organized. I'm going to work on that this year.
This is Betty showing us her hydrangea quilt. Blue and yellow is always so pretty!

Misc.

Willie's Friday Open Sew people had a great Christmas party last week! Head gear was worn, Christmas sweaters were plentiful,
food was abundant, and a Good Time Was Had By All!
Mary Ann Karpinski came in today and showed us what she has been working on! First was this bright Dresden Plate quilt that I absolutely love!
Next was another Dresden Plate quilt made with 30's fabric.
Last but definitely not least was this gorgeous appliqué quilt! She's been busy.
I am working on the class schedule and will be done by Monday. I promise! Sorry it is so late.
