Bellingrath in Bellingham....

This is a picture of a fabulously dramatic quilt top! The pattern is called "Bellingrath". Evidently, Bellingrath is a garden in Mobile, AL that is picturesquely beautiful. The original pattern was appropriately done in magnolias. Diane had seen the original and wanted to do it, but could only get it as a kit. She did make it and it was stunning. Then, we discovered that the pattern was finally available. Alicia and Nan were sewing in the class area a month or so ago, and started playing with color choices for this quilt. This is what they came up with and Diane (already having made one) quickly put it together. It's a real "show stopper", isn't it? We have the pattern and we have a few kits left, if you are interested. It's made with mostly Hoffman fabrics.

This has been a great week, hasn't it? We started two new classes - Beg Quilting and Embellished Crazy Quilting. We got LOTS of new fabric - where to put it all - yikes! That 91 Mile Yard Sale cannot come soon enough! I almost have the new Block of the Month ready for Monday. And the weather - wow!

Tomorrow is cleaning, laundry, clean out a few more flower pots, turkey soup, pay a few bills, and then some fun sewing! I'm working on an applique project and an apron I have all cut out and ready to put together. I'm also working on the October newsletter and signage for the Yard Sale....plus, if I don't vacuum the sewing room floor tomorrow....well, let's put it this way - it's not pretty down there!! Hope your Sunday is fantastic!
