Wonderful Piecelique Workshop

Well I spent the day at a workshop that our local guild the Cherokee Rose Quilters held.
The workshop was on the technique called Piecelique with Sharon Schamber.
I can tell you it was a wonderful day and I love the techniques.
She also showed us a binding technique and anyone who knows me knows I hate to bind the quilts so I will have to try this.

I got some wonderful CD’s of hers that come with patterns and video so we can remember all we learned. I would just love to have a tenth of the imagination this woman has.

I have posted all the photos to the gallery and you can see them here.
I can say one thing for sure, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with for all of us in the future.

Her hand applique is just as exquisite as her machine work and I hope she has some great tips for that as I love hand applique.

Visited some local Quilt Shops

Just thought I would post a couple of images of some shops I visited recently.
Quilt Station, this shop just opened in Hiram Georgia. She was previously located in California and moved her shop out her to be with her family. Her website is Quilt Station and she should have this updated to the new area shortly.
The second shop I have been to before and it is called Qwiltz and is located in Bowden, Georgia.  This shop is always fun to visit and you can be sure to find something that you won’t find at the other quilt shops. We found some great fabric for hair. The link to her shop is Qwiltz
You can visit the images of the shop that I took Quilt Shops.

Exciting News

Well I have some great news, I have started a chapter of “The Applique Society” here in Georgia. I love hand applique and everywhere I have moved there wasn’t a group, but I knew then I couldn’t start a group because we would be moving. Well since we will be here and no group was available I started one. It is going to be great. I am doing happy dances and finger snaps every time I think about it.

On a quick note I removed the email address requirement from the comment section because I don’t like the idea that your email address were showing up for bots to harvest, so now you can comment and not have to worry about that.
