Old Bags Descend on Pieceful Quilting

The Old Bags Challenge was way too much fun for all. The participants were given and old bag filled with a fat quarter of, quite frankly, a very ugly fabric along with buttons, beads, ribbons, trims and who knows what else. They were to make a quilt no smaller than 8 x 10 inches, and no larger than 16 x 20 inches. The prizes were a sewing machine, a $100 gift certificate to Pieceful Quilting and a $50 gift certificate. We ended up with a tie for third place so we had TWO 3rd place winners. The staff also got into the act, but their quilts were not judged. Her are some pictures just in case you can't get into the shop. The quilts will be on display until Feb 23rd and you can vote for viewers choice. The viewers choice winner will receive a "big 'ol bag"!

Nancy Caponegro - First Place Sue Brink - Second Place

Colleen Shea - 3rd Place

Well, we just got back from our son, Andrew's wedding. Great fun. The highlight was dancing with Andrew. And yes, I cried.

But while I was away, Mark Lipinski was teaching at Pieceful Quilting. Definitely fun was had by all. My wonderful staff took care of everything. Here they are:

I'll show you the quilts as soon as I get the pix.

Wow, I can't believe I managed this so easily. Thanks to Kim Bunchuck, Sunbonnetsue.com for giving me some confidence!



So let's get right to it. What's new today is beautiful kits for the Garden Twist pattern in a very classic blue and white. Stunning!



And Barbara just sent the sample for the Quilt Jacket class. Boy, this one is going to be great. You must stop in to see it.
