TOM TOM TOM – Technique of the Month

Exciting news on the pattern front! Quiltworx aka Judy Niemeyer Quilting has just announced their newest Technique of the Month. These are released on a bi-annual basis. The pattern will be going through a rigorous testing process over the next few months and then the final results will be printed and ready for release January 2015.

RETREATS RETREATS RETREATS – I plan to teach the new Technique of the Month in shops as well as retreats – if you are interested in a retreat let me know.

The first technique of the month was Glacier Star (2011) and I was totally in love. I have taught this class numerous times as well as made several quilts in collaboration with Pinwheels and Posies.

Here are a few photos of Glacier Star –

Peggy's GS - it was going to have extensions added - then the extensions did not look good with this center - so we made a new center — Peggy’s GS – it was going to have extensions added – then the extensions did not look good with this center – so we made a new center

And quilters love purple so Peggy and I made a purple version

Linda started with the kit from my quilt and added her spin and then Kim Norton from A Busy Bobbin worked some more magic with amazing quilting

Cristyn did not want to piece the circling geese and she is a phenomenal quilter so here is what she did!

My son married very well! — My Mariner’s Compass – I LOVE LOVE LOVE this quilt!
