I have over 300 pictures from my Germany trip including the workshop/s, the chocolate factory, my old town, my friend's farm etc, etc, but I'll just start with the amazing evening I had when I was very honoured to be able to attend Bonnie's Trunk Show evening at the Schoenaich Quilt Guild (thank you Birgit!) and so without further ado... pictures, pictures, pictures...
Here Bonnie explains her stash organisation techniques:
An amazing quilt called Perkiomen Daydreams, where even the 'ugly' fabrics can find a place to hide :-)
'Oklahoma Backroads' from Quiltville.com
Loved the purple patchy back!!! 10.5" blocks were used to make a backing:
Bonnie's name in fabric:
'Crabapples' from Bonnie's book Adventures with Leaders & Enders:
How much fabric in this shirt?:
'Star Gazing'
The backs were often as fun as the front:
'Goose in the Puddle'
'Tumalo Trail' - another quilt from Scraps and Shirtails II:
'Bricks in the Barnyard' - love that quilt with its solid red!!:
'Smith Mountain Morning' - yummy browns and blues:
'Bricks in the Barnyard' - up close and personal:
All I can say is it was a wonderful evening and I loved meeting Bonnie.
She is just like her quilts: even better in real life!

She added quilts from her newest book to her trunk show...how fun!
OMG, really 300 photos! Love the quilts. Thanks for sharing your meeting with Bonnie. Oh, how I would love to own so many quilts!! Maybe a nice trunk would also come handy.
Rest and enjoy looking at the photos and the new created memories.
I'm so envious you got to meet her and have a class with her. AND you got to see all those wonderful quilts!
Did she explain about the one with her name on it? I think she made that with Tonya.
Hello Carol Ann, nice to find you again in blogland ! Are you home yet ? I tried posting my pics and report about the trunk show but things kept happening... Your boys will give you a warm and joyful welcome when you get back home (my daughters just held on to me all evening and wouldn't let go - it had been only 3 days !)
What a treat! I watched a youtube video that someone took of Bonnie's talk in Texas and it was so inspiring...she would be my ideal speaker!
