This past holiday weekend, I drove down to Paso Robles, CA to lecture and teach for the
Almond Country Quilters. Friday night's lecture was very well attended. Prior to me starting my Dare to Dye lecture, the Programs Chair presented me with a Almond Country Quilter's lapel pin. Afterwards, several guild members came up to apologize for several cell phones going off in response to 7.1 earthquake, which was still several hours drive south of us. Thankfully we did not experience any of the shaking or aftershocks.

The next morning, we were free styling & spiraling!! Over the course of the morning, a fun mix of square spirangles were constructed using two different techniques.

One participant had recently returned from taking a class with Bonnie Hunter, who signed her Bernina sewing machine. I was honored to be included in her new workshop tradition!!

After we reenergized over lunch (complete with a yummy mushroom quiche, freshly made marble poundcake, and lots of fresh watermelon), we explored hexagons, diamonds, and triangle spirangles!! Check out the fun mix of spirangles pieced over the course of the day!

At the end of the day, there were lots of happy smiles to go along with all the amazing spirangle blocks!!

Here are a few sights that made me smile at the
Adelaide Inn, where I stayed overnight.

Another great workshop. You are finding friends everywhere with your fabulous teaching skills. I’m so glad you escaped the earthquakes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann. I love meeting new-to-me quiltings along my travels, and lots of great quilters in the Paso Robles area!! I too was relieved to be north enough to not be impacted by the earthquakes!!
