Quilter's Roadshow - Smoky Mountain Heritage Center, Townsend, TN





Yesterday I spent the day at Smoky Mountain Heritage Center in Townsend, Tennessee.

The Smoky Mountain Quilters held a special work day in conjunction with the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Great Smoky Mountains. This included presentation of quilts to 3 soldiers as part of the Quilts of Valor program, demonstrations by fellow quilters, and a bed turning (display of quilts) by Merikay Waldvogel - famous quilt historian. It was a great day even though the temperature barely broke 20. These are some samples of my machine quilting demonstration that will soon be small bags and glasses cases. These are perfect little items for so many things! They are available for purchase for only $7! Let me know if you'd like to buy 1 or 10! Free shipping!

I am working up a class in Free Motion Machine Quilting to be offered on a Saturday in March. Please let me know if you are interested and I'll put you on my list. It's fun and easy and I take a different approach to teaching it. We will focus on relaxing, having fun with it and making it beautiful! No Shoulder Crunching! If there are a few people in your area that would like to get together for the class I would love to come where you are! It's easy to work out the details!!!
