Last Thursday I attended Jo Morton’s lecture and trunk show
about decorating with quilts at Fairfax QU. What beauties!
Saturday, I attended her Rhubarb Crisp workshop. It amazes
me how little I get done at these things. I only made 4 sawtooth star blocks in
6 hours. I realize we took time to gather around the table, chat and eat lunch.
Yes, it was fun and I learned a new way of making flying geese and Jo’s method
of clipping seams for neater pressing. If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend you take one of her classes.
some of her class sample blocks
Being the obsessive person I am, I took every opportunity I
could on Sunday and Monday to work on this project. I wanted something to show
at her next lecture (Making Something New Look Olde) which was today at McLean
QU. But guess what! I left the little flimsy I made – four star blocks with the flying geese sashing – at the meeting. I’m trying not to be too made at myself. A
message has been sent out to the group and I hope I hear from someone soon.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get a photo of it. I’m sure you won’t mind a few photos
from Jo’s trunk show instead.
Thanks to my friend, Suzie, for taking the trunk show photos. I was a lucky holder.
thanks for sharing some of the quilts from the trunk show. they all look so nice and that sounds like a great workshop. so sorry that you left your flimsy . . . i hope it turns up~!

Can't get enough Jo! Sure hope your project turns up; I'm betting that it will. Quilters are honest people :)
ReplyDeleteLucky girl! I would love to see her quilts in person. I hope your project returns to you soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you get your little quilt back soon!
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love to have been in your shoes for these classes? What a treat. Thanks for the photos of some of Jo's little quilts. Love 'em!!
What a treat!!! I love Jo's Prairie Flowers - I had considered it for TWQ - but think I will make it for myself!! LOL I love her quilts and fabrics! Oooo, I hope your flimsy shows up soon!! I'm anxious to see it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Sure hope your pieces show up. If they were packed up it might take a bit for someone to realize they kept them safe for you.
ReplyDeleteLots of eye candy as well as fun.
Thank you for sharing!
Love your photos!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had an opportunity to take a class from Jo but think it would be very interesting. I read rave reviews from anyone who has.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the pics, Maureen! And I hope you get your flimsy back! What a fun time you had!
ReplyDeleteLucky, lucky you, what a wonderful opportunity. I never get much done in class either, seem to work better at home. Hopefully your little flimsy will come back to you. Always enjoy seeing Jo's quilts, thank you.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and gorgeous little quilts - lucky girl to have attended such an event!!!
ReplyDeleteYour star blocks are so pretty! I would be beside myself to have misplaced or forgotten my flimsey, so I think you are handling the situation with great aplomb. Hope it is returned soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get hooked back up to your little quilt!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun workshops!!
I hope you little quilt comes home soon.
ReplyDeleteLove all the photos. Thank you for sharing.
I took a workshop with Jo several years ago. What a nice person and her quilts are so warm.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your little quilt - fingers crossed!
