Cathedral Stars Workshop

Cathedral Stars Workshop with Bonnie Hunter:

What the tables looked like... It was so nice to have the space and such good light as well as

everything on hand to just sew, sew, sew:

Here Bonnie is holding one of my blocks:

The view from my table:

Some of the blocks that I managed to get done on the day in my way (i.e. they may not be quite as directed lol):

Our group and a sampling of the blocks that we created:

Later that evening we went for an amazing meal at Hotel Reussenstein in Boeblingen :

A fantastic day and night! No wonder I have come down with a cold, I'm shattered!

Bonnie's Trunk Show

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:

A pile of Quiltville quilts that we were allowed to admire at first hand - thank you Bonnie!:

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!

Quiltville Quilt-love!

What can I say?

I got to meet the lovely Bonnie Hunter and I got to see and I got to touch the scrumptious, luscious, amazing, awesome Quiltville quilts!

The Quiltville trunkshow is an amazing experience, Bonnie is a master!

Will life ever be the same???
