She gives lots of tips and re-inforcements of what and why her techniques work. There were a couple of things that I really didn't "get" but maybe it was the setting so close that it bonked me in the head!
Of Course you have to show an Oklahoma Backroads quilt when you go to Texas!
We visited Cabbage Rose and Quilt Country. This is the mural outside their shop. I was real impressed with both shops, but this mural...AND, there's a Braum's across the street.
The workshop with the Denton Gals. Everybody was so sweet. Since I was doing strictly plaids, I got a lot of freebees when I left. One gal even gave me four of her blocks because they didn't have enough variety in them. Hey...I never turn down orphan blocks of plaid.
Give her a sewing machine and the lady will sew! While I was pressing and trimming she made a block for
me.
You can see the first block I made over Bonnie's left shoulder. I got a total of three blocks made! Yes, I'll take a picture and post later today.
Another Bonnie and Me photo with the fireman statue in the museum. It was a 600 mile weekend trip and it was so worth it. I met so many nice ladies..definitely no Red River rivalry when it comes to quilts!

sounds like a great workshop........traffic freaks me out......when I got to Sydney I travel in the quieter times..........
That murial is fabulous and I love the photo of the 2 of you! I've been to Cabbage Rose, but that was before I knew how to quilt. I think another trip is required! Quilt stores and Braum's ice cream - a perfect combination!Waiting patiently to see your blocks! Did you get enough light plaids or shall I hunt some up? It would give me an excuse to start a new collection! LOL!
Isn't Bonnie great!? I went to Keller on Thursday night and heard and saw her trunk show. I could not take off work at this time to be able to take a class or workshop from her but I plan on it next time she comes close to me. I know you had a great time, you lucky dog. Yes, traffic is like this all the time. I hate the traffic here but you just kinda get used to it and accept it and plan around it. I'm looking forward to seeing your project from her class. I am working on Leaders and Enders in between my other projects but should have some to show soon. I'm glad the weather was good to you while you were down here. take care and have fun with your new project!
Thank you for visiting my blog. I am delighted to find yours! I took my second (twenty years apart) quilting class just last November and have promised a quilt to my daughter "sometime this year". :) I look forward to reading your posts.
Looks like you had an awesome time! I have to admit to being very jealous :)
I am so glad you had a great time with Bonnie...I worked that weekedn except for her Fort Worth lecture time...wish I could have met you!
