WHAT I LEARNED TODAY from DeLoa JONES

I attended a workshop for technics on how to quilt my quilts using the long/mid arm. All the lessons could be used on a domestic machine also. Lots and lots of helpful ideas and since I am just learning how to quilt, every bit of help is much appreciated. The artist was DeLoa Jones. She is very down to earth and is chucked full of knowledge.

I was sitting in the front row and could watch her expressions on her face when she was moving her long arm around. Her face is smiling but her eyes are quite intense. I whispered to the lady next to me "Wouldn't you just love to know whats going on in her head right now?" Her mind must be going hundreds of miles an hour.
I bought one of her books called Deloa's Sampler Solutions and one of her rulers for my mid arm. I cant wait to practice tomorrow on some the technics that were shown. She is having a retreat in Ohio this summer. I'm really thinking about going. If you want to check her out, here is her web site .....www.deloasquiltshop.com

Paper Piecing Class

I took a paper piecing class by McMeeking. Her quilts represent the tiled floors in Italy. Aren't they beautiful?
I love to paper piece and really hope I can finish this quilt sometime in my lifetime!



Keep your fingers crossed.
