I am so very proud of the girls at Quilting Sisters in Leesburg, FL - the quilts they made from the Flower Garden Quilt kits were AWESOME! After my lecture (I Love Quilting, But I am a Little Biased) we had a workshop using the precut kits I sell and my pattern for the Flower Garden version of the Drunkards Path...some LOVED the batiks - not the traditional fabrics I originally made the quilt with - and the results are spectacular!
I also made up a Halloween version of the kit - it was equally popular...and sPOOky!
This darling fabric is called Tea for Two and has tea cups and flowers on it - I love what the black bias does to pop the colors!
The girls have a fantastic room for workshops! lots of space and lots of good working light!
I mean, they were FOCUSED!!! look at that concentration!
I marvel that anything Kaffe Fassett comes out looking gorgeous - look at these prints! and just like with strip piecing, you can continuously sew the bias strips onto the curved edges in a quick sew style...!
The contrast of the red and black batik with these new Moda Precut all black charm packs is stunning!
laying out the quilt is in progress here with the more traditional colors!
My good buddy Claudia Schumacher - professional long armer extraordinaire - and her quiltin' buddies! I hardly heard a peep from these girls they were so busy!
Sweet Lura had a time getting me there but I thank her from the bottom of my heart! We had such a great day, Lura!
Once again, the two tone batik quilt kits with a high contrast bias made for some spectacular color combinations!
I had the quilters make the center two rows first - and look at the Kaffe Fassett! oh how YUMMY! This quilter had just come from the dentist and wasn't sure she wanted to stay - but I think she was glad she did!

Look at the variegated thread on this Halloween quilt! Spook TACular!
There is no doubt that the black and red bicolor quilt with just a hint of grey makes for a very unusual and striking quilt combination - I cannot wait to see the final version!
Great job, ladies! You were AWESOME and I am so proud of you for working so hard to get these done! Thanks for coming and hope to come and teach again with the Quilting Sisters of Leesburg, FL!
We had the most fun in this class and I entered my Halloween wall-hanging at the Whippoorwill Station Quilt shop close to Ocala on 27/441 and came in 2nd place! Thank you Laura for teaching me the drunkards path pattern and showing us your fabulous lollipop bindings!
