Class with Elsie Campbell


Just look at so many happy and smiling quilters   Photos by Pam at Sager Creek Quilt Shop
 I have been quilting for over 25 years but I still love taking classes. I always learn something new or reinforce something I have been doing.
I try to take classes from quilters I consider masters of their art. Elsie Campbell is one I would put in that category. I have taken classes from her before and never failed to go home being impressed and inspired.
Just look at some of these beauties she has done.
Doesn't she just beam. 

All done on her bernina.
Her quilts win many awards. For years Elsie quilts were hand quilted by her and just in the past few years she has being doing some of them on her own home machine. Just perfection.

This is one of her quilts she hand quilted. Love the colors. Reminds me of an antique quilt I've seen.



The class we took was based on a pattern in her new book.

We did the one one the cover.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday.

OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
