We have had quite the show and share over the past few days, and boy do I love to see it!

These quilters do absolutely fantastic work, and I love seeing the variety of scraps, colors and fabrics the pull together to make the quilts sing!

Some of the ladies I have met before, and their names have stuck with me since I have known them from other places.  I feel really bad when I can’t remember someone’s name and they all blur together ---we’ve had 4  full classes, with 24 slots for students in each class, some students were duplicates, but it’s still well over 80 people in 3 days so I hope you will forgive me if your name escapes me…your smile and your voice and the fun we had will stay with me and I will remember your face next time!

This is Sharon and her Roll Roll Cotton Boll from Scraps & Shirttails II!  Isn’t it beautiful?

She also shared her Tulip Fields from String Fling!

Nancy shared her Easy Street – aren’t the colors great?

Sue’s Lazy Sunday in Progress – see the border thrown over her shoulder?

Another Easy Street in Autumn tones!

Talk about perfect piecing, how about perfect pressing – with seams all open!

This top laid so nice and flat!

I love this picture even though her eyes are closed ---

She’s got Tumalo Trail from Scraps & Shirttails II in progress.

Check out the back of Winston Ways, also in progress!

Front of block!  Is she a happy scrapper or what?

Another Lazy Sunday in progress!  oooh, I really like these soft desert colors!

Cathy brought in her very LARGE Roll Roll Cotton Boll!

I think the first class Cathy took with me a few years back was String Spider Web.

Love this in neutrals with just a few pastels thrown in!

See the soft colors?  NICE!

String Spider Web is a freebie under the Free Patterns Tab!

She made Blue Ridge Beauty from Adventures with Leaders & Enders –Completely as a Leader & Ender project!

Marcia shared her bed runner, it’s layered and ready for quilting!

Rozanna made her Easy Street in yummy berry tones and soft green!

She also jumped on to the Crumb Geese craze!

The directions for the Crumb Geese are under the Free Patterns tab at the top of the blog.

This layout I LOVE!  I’ve never seen another like it!

This was our Leader & Ender challenge from a couple of years ago –also under the free patterns tab, click Cheddar Bow-Ties!

Close up of one corner, isn’t this fun?!

Crab Apples from Adventures with Leaders & Enders is ready for quilting!

Scrappy Trips from the Free Patterns tab!

Four Ever Nines was a block from my Addicted to Scraps Column with Quiltmaker Magazine!

I love this rainbow layout – all the 9 patch blocks were from a swap and the article gave her an idea for the setting!

A special Sampler quilt for when her mom goes to chemo.

And This completely took my breath away!

How about Smith Mountain Morning from Scraps & Shirttails II in KING SIZE?!

Spectacular!

I SO LOVE THIS!

I haven’t done a red/white/blue quilt for quite some time, I think I’m going to have to put one on my MUST DO list!

Ladies, thank you for hosting me in Peoria!  We’ve had a great time.  I’ve loved being here!
