In January my quilt guild had Bonnie come and teach two classes and a lecture/trunk show. I was thrilled and quickly signed myself and mom up for all of the classes.
On January 9th we took the Cathedral Windows class with Bonnie. What fun! We had a full day of piecing, laughing with Bonnie and all of the ladies from the guild who attended.
Below is a write up that Bonnie put on her blog about mom. Precious!
Some
Very Betty Show & Share!
Betty is shown on the right, next to her daughter Shelia, and between the two of them they are quilting up a storm in South Carolina.
From what I’ve been told, Betty WEARS OUT sewing machines with all of the beautiful work she does, including featherweight motors!
She is a power house of productivity, and everyone knows that Betty will take any and all fabric strips and strings and sew string blocks to her hearts content –with all of the blocks being made into quilts for local charities such as habitat for humanity.
The world definitely needs MORE Bettys!
Last night after my presentation with the Nimble Thimble quilters in Mauldin, Betty brought up FIVE beautiful quilts for show & share that she has made from my designs.
And let me tell you also – Betty does not do ANYTHING on a small scale!
Take a look:
Betty and
Texas Braid
She has a beautiful sense of what
works when working with scraps – I think I’ve met my match!
Roll Roll
Cotton Boll from String Fling!
And Celtic Solstice with a smile!
If you are looking for the pattern
for Celtic Solstice, it’s found in the Digital Downloads
section of the Quiltville
Store.
Wait,
Betty! Come back here!
I’m not
done with you yet!

Betty, it was just wonderful meeting
you and getting to spend the last 3 days with you and your guild family here in
South Carolina. I can’t wait to come back and see what you have sewn
since I left!
There are many other wonderful show
& share photos in the slide show. And be on the lookout for Connie's
completed Allietare top which made an appearance! It's wonderful!
Thank you Bonnie Hunter for such a sweet write up about my little mama. Mom just turned 80 on March 5th and she loves following your blog. Quiltville Bonnie's Blog
Happy Quilting everyone,
Shelia

I enjoy Bonnie's quiltcams a lot, she just has a wonderful way that she enjoys life and of course scraps! Lovely to hear about the fun you had; I may have to jump across the border (from Canada) sometime to take a class with Bonnie.
