Painted Forest

Painted Forest

First 3 blocks

Pattern by Scott Hansen 

Blue Nickel Studios

I am having so much fun with this quilt! Modern, urban folk, whimsical, scrappy and just plain fun! ... and another quilt out of my box! I started this quilt at Sisters, OR at A Quilter's Affair when I took one of Scott's classes. Wow! Love :0) Finished blocks one and two in class and made block three today. These first blocks are symmetrical. Now on for more fun because the rest are not!!! Yea! 

Thank you Scott for a wonderful and fun class! 

Check out Scott's website and blog

for some of the new patterns and projects Scott is working on.

 Scott has more patterns available as well. During the class at Sisters quilters stopped by with the quilts they made in classes. I saw Painted Forest quilted plus another... Twister...
and took pix of Scott's Christmas 1964 in the Instructor's tent at Sisters...

(The sun is shining thru from the back)

This looks like as much fun as Painted Forest :0) 

Enjoy your weekend 

Stay cool, forecast is low 100s this weekend 

and back into the 90s next week. Oh boy!

You know you live in Chico when the 90s sounds cool!!! 

Tot ziens, Jo

Civil War at Sisters 2016

A few of the quilts displayed at Sisters 

made with Civil War reproduction fabrics... 

It was very windy by the afternoon which required 

taking turns holding corners in order to take pix! 

A nice Civil War Sampler 

This one was part of an exhibit by Moda 

featuring Eliza's Indigo by Betsy Chutchian

I like the alternate quilting with feathers and crosshatch

Wonderful fabrics!!! 

Hope you had a quilty week. 

Besides making progress longarm quilting with the cooler weather, 

worked on my Toes in the Sand this week. 

We met Wednesday evening with Kelly to finish the last blocks. 

Some of us got started on the background blocks and layout. 

Sew much fun to see our work coming together! 

Looking forward to meeting for Gypsy Wife on Sunday 

and laying out Pacific Crest with Pam B.

We are headed for triple digits coming up for at least a week... Arrrrg! 

Enjoy your weekend, stay cool! 

Tot ziens, Jo
