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

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!
Then there was Mariner’s Compass (2013)

My Mariner’s Compass – I LOVE LOVE LOVE this quilt! I told my daughter-in-law I wanted the color wheel and she helped pull fabrics and helped with the design of where the fabrics would go! My son married very well!

This is one from retreat in Montana in 2013 – I can’t remember who made the quilt – let me know and I will update the blog! UPDATE – This fabulous Mariner’s Compass belongs to Roger Kerr, owner along with his fabulous wife, Ardelle of Certified Shop – Quilting from the Heart.
And now …….. drum roll please………
