Roses Workshop

This past Saturday I taught my Roses Bouquet workshop to a fun group of three ladies.   This group of students are quite advanced/experienced in their quiltmaking skills.   I think I'm correct when I say that Pebble has won several awards in her quiltmaking career.  It was so exciting to hear them tell me that they want to branch out & get creative with the roses technique.    They have several fabulous ideas of what they want to create into a quilt.  I can't wait to see what they come up with.  Of course, we'll have to wait a while before we see their quilts.  We have to remember that creativity can not be rushed & must be allowed to simmer, (like a pot of soup), in order to get great results.   Thank you Linda, Pebble, & Linda for such a fun workshop day!  Below are the photos of their blocks from the workshop.....

You just can't make one rose!

Minding My P's & Q's Quilt Shop

This is the wonderful quilt shop where I taught my Roses Bouquet Class.  This shop has a great selection of fabrics & quilting supplies.  The atmosphere is inviting the moment you walk in.  If you're ever in Crossroads, Texas be sure to stop in to this friendly quilt shop.  You won't want to leave.

As you approach the shop, you'll see a wagon with a quilt painted on its canvas cover making it easy to spot the shop.

Below are more pics of Minding My P's & Q's Quilt Shop.  Fabrics are organized so nicely you can't help but feel as if you're standing inside a box of crayons.    Photo on the right displays a variety of patterns by Watercolor Whims kits to choose from and so much more.

Below are pictures of students from my classes & the roses they created.  It was exciting to see the various colors they selected for their roses.  I've been told by students that this technique is addictive.  You simply can't just make one rose.  This has certainly been true for me.

These students have a goal to complete their quilts by January 2012 where they'll unveil their results at that month's guild meeting.  So exciting!!  I can hardly wait.
