On Saturday my mother and I attended a very, very fun all day workshop at Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe. The classroom is actually across the hall from the quilt shoppe and is decorated with the most beautiful quilts, charming antiques and an assortment of rustic and elegant chandeliers. There were 4 designers who each taught a project and 60 eager students.
Kathy Schmitz was our first instructor and she started off our morning with this "Bee Happy" embroidery project.
Next it was time for lunch! We all went across the hall to do a little shopping at Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe while the caterer set up. When we returned we did a little chicken dance { yes...we really danced :) } and then had a delicious lunch.
During lunch the raffle opened for these three lovely quilts. They were displayed in the hallway outside the classroom. Mom and I earned three tickets during the day so we are hoping to be one of the lucky winners!
This wonderful wool "Spring Posy Case" was our 2nd project. Our instructor was Kathy Cardiff.
Sherri Falls was our 3rd instructor. She taught this fun "Paper Piecing Pin Cushion" project.
Our final project was this cute wool and flannel "Little Spring Chick" by Bonnie Sullivan.
I learned some new techniques, discovered a few new products and am filled with inspiration. I also came home with a few "extra projects" which I will get to when I have finished all four projects from the workshop.
Thank you Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe and Designers for the very fun and creative day!!
