I just returned from a workshop with Ricky Tims at Olde City Quilts. We stayed a couple of nights and had a mini-retreat at a Quaker meeting house across the street from the quilt shop. I actually finished this quilt in less than one day at the retreat -- a real record for me!
Earlier this year, I took another workshop at the Mennonite Center in Harleysville, PA. This time it was a hands-on weaving class where we wove a small table runner on a rigid heddle loom (mine's the multi-colored one). While at the workshop, a lady mentioned a nearby store and suggested I visit it on my way home. The store is called Homespun and it's located in Hereford, PA. The shop is so quaint and it carries needle punching and rug hooking (my latest obsession).
Here's a quilt I made as a shop sample for the Cozy Quilt Shoppe in Maywood, NJ. It was quick to do and a lot of fun. I started another one using Halloween fabrics but, of course, it's still in the UFO stage.
