Camille and Carrie...

We got a real treat today! Camille came in with this quilt she had made using blocks she got that her husband's grandmother made many years ago. She took Diane's Beginning Quilting Class almost 2 years ago and in her words was "hooked"! When she went to the Midwest last Fall, she got these blocks and brought them in to the shop to ask for ideas about how to make them into a quilt or quilts. It just so happened that one of my sales reps, Carrie, happened to be there. I got really busy at the counter, so Carrie and Camille continued playing with blocks, fabrics, and ideas. By the time I got back, Carrie had drawn a complete diagram for Camillle on how to set and border the blocks. Today, she brought the quilt in...isn't it fabulous!?! And what an heirloom. Needless to say, all of her kids want it. There are more blocks left, so she plans to make another couple of quilts for them and has a place in her home to hang this one. Great job, Camille and thanks, Carrie!!

We stayed busy today. Diane helped a Beginning Quilting student "audition" borders, and then got the Dear Santa hanging ready to layer up. She's also choosing some more fabrics for a couple of horse wallhangings by the same designer as the wolf one she has going - they should be fantastic! I played a bit more with my Sunbonnet Sue quilt - just borders left! And yesterday, Jan and I got almost all of the next BOM fabrics chosen, cut and ready to package - hooray! Harriet's coming in tomorrow and we'll whip the place into shape before the Featherweight class scheduled for Saturday.

I'm off to throw a load of clothes in and maybe play with Sunbonnet borders? Have a great Friday all!
