Off to see the Queen (of scraps)!

     After months of waiting and wrangling, I am packed to leave for 2 Bonnie Hunter workshops in Rochester, NY, about 1 1/2 hrs. from here. I do not like packing, so it is always difficult getting ready. I had to cut fabric for the patterns and hope I have enough. I never know how much extra fabric to take. I hope to learn to work better, see Bonnie who is such an inspiration to me, and look forward to seeing what others are working on. I am so excited!

     Looking in the garden after I packed, these mums come back every year- the only ones that have no matter how hard I try with other ones. They are over 8 years old.

      There are still some gorgeous coneflowers blooming and the one big sunflower is now a seed head. I have to take it down before the maniac squirrels get it.


Aren't the shapes just awesome?

You will love the classes with Bonnie - so down to earth and common sense. Bet you go shopping at local thrift shop before all is said and done!

I love the last garden flowers. I think I need to plant a big sunflower next year.

Bonnie is such a sweetie. She's been to my large guild twice now. I stink at scrap quilting (I can do controlled scrappy, to an extent) but, I keep trying. Is that a trapizoid case I see, in the picture? What color 301 is hiding inside????? Both of mine are Mocha, and I'd love a black one.
