Last week I was invited to give a lecture and a 1 1/2 day workshop for the members of Coastal Prairie Quilt Guild.  It had been a few years since I last visited them and I was excited to join them again.

They meet in a lovely Church in Missouri City, TX –

Beautiful stained glass is always inspiring.

After a morning lecture we moved to another part of the Church for the first part of our workshop.  We were making Total Eclipse by Judy Niemeyer aka Quiltworx.  This is a really fun quilt to make and I love seeing all of the different color combinations.  We had less than 3 hours the first day and I was so excited how quickly these students grasped paper piecing.  Look how much they got done!

These will be for a wall quilt – wait until you see the KM unit fabric.

Bold, Bright and Beautiful

Deep Rich Colors

Love the red background – this student was not happy with the contrast in her 2 side blocks. She made more when she went home!

Great contrast here!

Day 2 we started at 10 am and went until 3:30 when it was time to clean up.  These students are well on their way…..

Won’t this make a lovely wall quilt? She is going to arrange her blocks similar to the Arizona Cactus Quilt

Beautiful!

Love those background fabrics in the KM units!

Love!

This student is going for a tropical feel – she nailed it!

Fabulous

I have stash envy!

Aren’t these going to make pretty blocks?!

One of the students brought her Glacier Star. She made this in a 6 part class at the local quilt shop!

A quick plug for the guild – they will be having a fabulous quilt show on September 12 and 13 of this year.  Their venue is the fabulous Stafford Centre in Stafford, TX.  Be sure to put this date on your calendar.  To learn more visit the guild website here.
