Quilty Visits Part 3: A Hometown Visit

In the last episode of Quilty Visits with Kevin the Quilter.........
I had just ended a wonderful visit with the
Colonial Quilters Guild of Bethlehem, PA.

In talking with Beth, she shared that she had driven the
entire distance from her home in NJ, all the way to St. Louis.
So, I thought, if she can do that.....while hauling a horse trailer,
(Beth showed horses) then surely I could?????

So.............I did!
I drove all the way from Bethlehem, PA to Troy, Missouri
in one day.  With several antique mall stops along the way.

Why?

Because I had a workshop with the Dixie Lee Quilt Guild in
my hometown of Fredericktown, MO!

A little bird told them

my birthday was coming up,

so they had a birthday cake for me

during lunch!

How sweet!

It was a String Star Workshop kind of day!

Mom and Dad peeped in to make sure

I was doing things right! LOLOL

You all have seen me share this workshop

many times now.

Enjoy the photos and my day with these

fun quilters in my hometown.

We had a lot of fun together!

Thanks again for inviting me

Dixie Lee Quilt Guild!

You know........

making a String Star is NOTHING new

in the quilting world!

They have been around for quite a while!

Take for instance this antique String Star

quilt I found in Ohio.

Pieced in backgrounds in 

contrasting colors makes this one really fun.

The solid colors REALLY

stand out in this version.

You can choose to use a 45 degree diamond

template, or 60 degree like I use.

While in Fredericktown, I was able to

celebrate my birthday with my wonderful family.

Another birthday cake!  WOW!

It matches my shirt!

Taking mom and dad out for ice cream

at the local ice cream shop in town.

How is this even possible?

Lil' Bubs is driving!!!!

Since he isn't so little anymore,

I guess I will just have to start

calling him "Bubs!"

My Sis did it again!

Look at this awesome

"Welcome" sign she made for me

for my birthday!

I see a couple of pooches

staring out that door! LOL

You all may or may not know

my love of all things

"Bob Ross"

or the "Golden Girls" for

that matter.....

but,

I found these

"Happy Little Tree Mints!"

LOLOLOLOLOL

Here is a nice look at the quilting on the

"Simply Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt."

My friend Kim quilted

leaves all over, and I LOVE it!

This is going to be perfect for this fall..........

if it ever arrives!

Still 90 plus degree days here in Missouri!

Lovely texture on the back.

Patty gave me this awesome insulated

cup with my name on it

for my birthday!

She knows I LOVE my coffee!

Thanks Patty!

Some Fall decorating has taken place around here!

Doesn't Bonnie Hunter's

I love the way this one turned out,

and I am looking forward to this year's

mystery!
