This week my travels took me to Shelby, North Carolina to visit the Foothills Quilters Guild http://www.foothillsquiltersguild.org/FQG_NC/index.html
The guild asked me to teach my Ocean Sunrise workshop. Here are some of the blocks that were finished at the end of the day. I thought it was a very impressive amount of finished blocks. Good job ladies.
Here are the sewers. Sally Norman was my guild contact and she was great to work with. It was a very fun day.
