Sally did a 2 day workshop for our guild and she was wonderful. Even if you are not a fan of small scale, her techniques apply to all sizes. Measure, Measure, Measure-I got it! It really does make a difference.

| The centers of these quilts are 7x7 inches. Squares are 1/2 inch finished and the quilts are called "Circle of Stars" |
 |
| This is 1/4' of the pattern done at 1" instead of 1/2" scale |
 |
| Except for Susan who is using the 1/2 inch scale |
 |
| Lots of thinking going on! |
 |
| Really love the colors in this one-Cecelia's |
 |
| Machelle had to change out all her fabrics-think she has a winner! |
 |
| Sally sharing the importance of measuring after every seam. |
I didn't actually do the workshop, but I took lots of notes and can't wait to try her methods on a small piece. Too many UFO's and too little time!
We have the line-up for next years workshops and I am excited: Karen Brow, Norma Whaley, Catherine Wilson, Catherine Redford, David Taylor, Mary Lou Weidman and Pam Buda. A good variety I think. I met Catherine Redford at a mini retreat that I attended. A cute little English lady with that awesome British Accent. After being charmed by her I found out : she teaches on criuses, will be teaching at Houston in October, has been raved about by Bonnie Hunter and has a new book out about using your walking foot in quilting. She will be coming after Houston next Nov. and is really reasonable. I signed her up for 3 classes as she has a large variety to choose from.
