I purchased Bonnie Hunter's newest book....Addicted to scraps.
This book is stock full of her patterns and her unique way of using scraps to create her designs.  I am working on a couple of her designs from her previous books and will soon start some tops from this book.  Can you imagine sewing and quilting everyday?  She does it and has the quilts and patterns to share.  I especially love her quilt cam times.  She makes time in between her traveling and her classes to tape herself sewing and showing what she is working with currently.  This past week she was sewing together orange pumpkins on grey background fabric.  Just click on her Quiltcam icon and watch!

It's been a while since I've posted anything.  I have been busy moving to Las Vegas, working at a new job as a high school teacher in culinary, and setting up house.  There has not been much time to sew and quilt.  I did find a group of quilters and try to spend as much time with them to quilt and socialize.  I needed this time to regroup as my teaching job is taking a large chunk of time.  I haven't been in the classroom for over 10 years and my, things have changed.  We use a lot more technology and the kids are permanently strapped to their phones.
We just finished with a whirlwind of evenings of tailgate cooking for the staff.  My students have performed very well and have shown me and others that they are the "bomb"! (Their words..)  No pictures are available and I wouldn't feel comfortable posting pictures of them without their permission.  Thank you for working so hard and definitely exhibiting some serious school spirit.

Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville has released the colors for the upcoming 2016 quilt mystery!  I am excited and am getting my colors together.  I love the majenta!  Come and join me in a few weeks as we follow her lead and create a colorful, scrappy quilt.
