Atlanta Expo

These are exciting pictures of the Atlanta expo in March. I was fortunate enough to be able to be able to assist the Gammill team at the expo, which meant I got to be in every class! The pictures that you see are samples that have been quilted by Dusty Farrell. He is making a name for him self in the long arm quilting community with his exciting and innovative designs. He used the bottom of a pot to make the circle and them quilted all around it. Isn't it beautiful?

This is a vest that he quilted and layed inexpensive netting material over the fabric before quilting it. A unique look for sure. (also on the butterfly quilt)

Dusty uses "glow in the dark" thread and puts a black light on it to really make it pop. Kids love this look. Our girls are already asking for a quilt sewn in glow in the dark thread.

A picture of me and Dusty at the expo. He really knows his stuff

This is Regina Carter. She is a fabulous long arm quilter that I was fortunate enough to work with in the classes. I was able to pick her brain and get lots of new ideas. I have plans to take some classes under her instruction. I am very excited about that upcoming event!

Happy Smiles

Boy are we behind on our blogging. We haven't posted since right after Christmas. I guess we have been distracted by all the bad weather....or we consider it bad. There are some around "these parts" who think this weather is fun. I say, "Bring on spring." David (in the above picture) is most pleased with his Pineapple quilt. He spent a great deal of time on this project, but isn't it beautiful? He was here for Christmas vacation and had to spend a few extra days here in North Carolina with us because of all the snow we had!

Great job Christy! This was a huge project for a first quilt. Hats off to you. I notice you are wearing short sleeves...is it warm where you are?? I am so jealous. Thanks for sharing with us and we hope you enjoy it for many years to come.

The next picture is Russ with our friend Reta. Her Underground Railroad blocks look gorgeous set as a log cabin quilt. Russ and Reta worked together on this project. Good job, guys.

These are a couple from show and tell at our local quilt shop. It looks like everyone has been very busy this winter.

Russ is a little wet after his run. He went to Atlanta and did the Resolution Run on New Year's Day in Atlanta. Never mind how he placed, he was just happy to finish. It was pouring rain that day. Congrats Russ! Way to go!

Think Spring!

We braved the elements to my parents' house yesterday to spend Christmas afternoon with them. This is a shot on the highway..a picturesque snowfall.

I love how it all sticks to the trees like cotton.

A pretty deep snow.

Ginger loves to play in the snow.
