Talent abounds at Pieceful Quilting

I think there may just be a Picasso among the recent students of Art Quilting Made Simple!   With Tina as their mentor, these ladies learned the secret power hidden in your machine's decorative stitches.  We have a sneaky suspicion they'll be spending countless days and nights dreaming of all they can do with these creative techniques, just look how proud they are of their new designs!
