My Day With Bonnie

 Monday Bonnie Hunter was in Portland, OR. A group of friends made the trip across the Columbia River (it wasn't that much of a trip!) to attend her Cathedral Stars Class.  Thank you Northwest Quilters for having openings in the class for our group of 8. I cannot even tell you what a fun day we had. There are no words. :)

I have "known" Bonnie forever. I started making her designs from the beginning of Quiltville. It was a real celebrity moment for me when I finally got to meet her. Big hugs and smiles from both of us.

(Imagine my surprise when I was this post!!!)

These are my completed blocks from class. I have lots of parts and pieces ready to get this all together. Bonnie was surprised I hadn't made it before. I've had it book marked forever but other things got in the way.

Bonnie is taking the walk of blocks. Such a great variety of color. Thank you Bonnie for making our day special.  If you ever get the chance to meet Bonnie and see her trunk show, run to it as fast as you can. You will not be sorry, you will be inspired and raring to dive into your scraps and create.

Design Wall Monday

OK so it's not a design wall, it's the trunk of my car.  The design wall will happen later in the day.

I'm headed out bright and early to spend the day with a bunch of my friends taking a class from Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville fame. I'm a little bit excited.  I have been making Bonnie quilts since 1997! She posted the other day that was when she started offering free patterns. I've made a bunch of them and cannot wait to start the next one Monday morning.

I do have a nice finish to show you, you can see it here. It's the quilt that I donate to hubby's hunting club as one of their annual picnic/fund raiser prizes.

Every Monday you can find Judy L's Design Wall Monday post over at her website.
