September with France Patchwork here in the Montpellier area

-
September was a busy month
I was asked to give machine quilting classes for a group in 
Castries during the exposition of France Patchwork.  
Busy day,  I decided to have them quilt place settings.
So... Off to make 10 kits for the class.  
They all turned out beautifully 
I hate to waste things and it is better to quilt something that we will use and keep. 
I had made practice pieces for the girls before they started on their place setting. 
ADY and Bernina lent their  Bernina 570's for the quilting 
Started off with a button stitch to sew the sunflowers down then on to free motion quilting
I had brought my favorite thread to share
Aurifil of course in just the right colors and
at the end of the day almost ready to put the binding on !
Fun!!
Enjoy

    Today I can say "thirty years in waiting"  is finished I had made a queen size quilt with these fabrics and I missed it so that I had started another but put it away for a rainy day.    So happy that I found the box many years later and was able to get it finished at last!! A nine patch or simple irish chain, so off I went with my box, and this is what it turned into.... I am so pleased, and it is big enought to use on the dining room table. I have a few squares left, maybe enought to make a place setting or something. The quilting design is from My Creative Stitches  Monday Patch Vacation time is over and we are back to our art!! Two of the gals have finished their giant wedding ring, one is ready to be quiltied and another is alread to go on the table.  Quilting in lines, it turned out really nice.
