Linda's Egg Money Quilt
Our Egg Money Quilt Class had its last meeting on Sunday at Quilter’s Corner in Midlothian, VA and we were very productive. Look at Linda with her Egg Money Quilt blocks! Linda drove ALL THE WAY from Virginia Beach each month to sew with us! She made her Egg Money Quilt a bit larger than the rest of us and I really like it – especially her yo yo flower embellishment!
We had lots of fun in our class – Eleanor Burns (dressed in her 30’s aprons and often holding a chicken) was our DVD leader (and I might add that she was quite entertaining!) Susan, our real life leader, sewed right along with us and she finished her quilt top on Sunday. This is Susan’s quilt BEFORE THE BORDER…..we love that red background!

Isn’t this a great border! Susan showed us how to do PERFECT MITERED CORNERS. I really like it. I wonder how many red backgrounds we will see on our quilts that we make in 30’s Club next year! I am already looking forward to that!

Isn’t it fun to dream of and start making new quilts? I guess it is that DOPAMINE brain rush in our pleasure centers that makes us feel the excitment when we do something new! (I wish I knew how to get that same DOPAMINE HIGH when I am putting the binding on quilts….LOL.) Oops, I think I just lapsed into my classroom mode.

We all had fun putting our blocks on the design wall and seeing the same quilt in different fabric choices. I love Marla’s bright 30’s fabrics and in retrospect I wish that I would have used brights as well! This is a beautiful quilt! I like all of the reds that she used too.

AND TA DA – here are my blocks on the design wall.

I have been MULLING IN MY HEAD ALL DAY about my border – should I make my favorite checkerboard blocks?? piano keys?? or a small and a larger border. The quilt is talking to me and as soon as WE decide, I will show and tell! 🙂 As you can see I put in TWO FRIENDSHIP BLOCKS on opposite corners. I absolutely LOVE THIS BLOCK and I want to make a whole quilt of friendship blocks in 2009. (MORE DOPAMINE!!!)

We all had fun today – even my grandangel – FLAT SARAH 3rd Grader – who went to Starbucks with me BEFORE CLASS.

Flat Sarah is sitting on the sewing table, lounging against my Singer Featherweight Sewing Machine Case! By the look of that smile on her face, I think she got a DOPAMINE RUSH from seeing the quilts in the class today – or maybe it was the caffeine!!
🙂
Sara – get ready to see my Egg Money quilt in your quilting cottage soon……shall I bring Starbucks?????? 🙂
