Got Some Catching Up To Do

Spring is finally here at the Chandler house.  This is my azaleas in the front yard.  They are gorgeous right now.
 Friday night the 8th we had quilt bee at my house to help get Sue's Orion Star quilt finished.  Here she is working hard to finish quilting the quilt.  It turned out beautiful.  This was Sue's first quilt to do in the longarm.  Very talented lady.
 Suzanne decided to piece on her red, white and blue quilt.  She is using another Bonnie Hunter pattern from http://www.quiltville.com/ .
 Thursday night, the 7th of April, part of our bee taught at the Foothills Piecemaker's Quilt Guild meeting.  We call ourselves "peeps" when we are at our bee, so it just makes sense to call our teaching "The Traveling Peep Show".  We had these shirts made that we wear when we teach this class.
Left to Right:  Susan, Sue, Suzanne and Shelia
Susan taught making your own labels and how to use pens & ink to color those labels.  Beautiful!
Sue taught binding and sleeves.
Suzanne taught how to use computer programs to produce your own labels and how to print and set the ink.
I taught Tips and Tricks.  We all had a lot of fun.  Each time we teach we have some people different teaching due to our work schedules, but always fun.
 Below is a close up of the shirt.  Cute hugh!
Have a great day quilting,
Shelia
