What a wonderful visit to Virginia and the Centreville Quilters Unlimited Guild. I stayed with long time blog friend, Aunt Reen, in her beautiful country home. She wrote
a sweet post about the visit here.
Doreen and I quickly became great friends and we truly are kindred spirits. She is the sister I wish I had. Maybe I'll adopt her.
Here is Doreen's incredible Modern Dear Jane quilt. She is internationally known for her incredible and innovative 13 month DJ program. She has guided hundreds of women to compete this amazing quilt.
This quilt was selected by Brenda Papadakis for the Special Dear Jane Exhibit at the Vermont Quilt Festival in 2013.
Here is a link to see some of the incredible quilts.
Doreen hosted her sewing bee while I was there and they were an amazing group of talented and friendly ladies. Here are just a few photos from show and tell.
As usual I got so into the quilts that I forgot to take more photos - darn!!
The Hex workshop was great. Look how hard they are all working learning the whip stitch.
After all our events were over, we celebrated Friday the 13th at a charming local pub. I miss you already Doreen!
Quiltyfolk is a fabulous magazine and you can get t
he first issue reprint here. They are also offering single issues at half price, with free shipping with new subscriptions. Christmas is coming......
I'm off today for the ASQG Seminar in New Hampshire. I used my old stamping supplies to make labels for my centerpieces. It was easy and fun.
Have a great week!
