Sew On The Go by Michelle Renee Hiatt

Barbara Bregman did a terrific job on my Summer Sunshine!  It is ready for delivery tomorrow as Pennington's Class Sample.  There will be limited kits available in this color scheme. Really beautiful.  I absolutely love it.  Patterns will be available next week. Plus, I have my Suenami class tomorrow at Pennington, NJ & Altantic Flyway Sunday at Yankee Quilter in Seymour,CT

Boy, this flu season is just awful in the east.  Keeping battling with it! In between, I have made some progress on my upcoming class samples.  I was able to get my Loco for Lemoyne Star- Winter Jewel to Barbara Bregman to Quilt.  Barbara got it today and she is designing the custom quilting -- so exciting!  We are going to try and enter it into MQX and Vermont Quilt Show.  Both deadlines are early February, so nothing like P-R-E-S-S-U-R-E! Of course, while I was taking pictures, before boxing it up, I couldn't help taking a picture of my Cal Pal in front of it.  He was napping. Then I got some cutting and easy piecing started on my Southern Hospitality.  The light wasn't the best but you get the idea of it's center. This is a terrific quilt to make in the summer.  It comes together ready nice. In between it all... Binding the Loco for Lemoyne Star- Summer Sunshine! Hopefully, some more progress tomorrow!

So, while I'm stitching the Loco for Lemoyne Star Sampler for my Pennington Class, I'm also making a second quilt (this could be why it is taking so long)....   It is really neat to see the differences in the block, just based on the different colors.  I'm going to use this quilt for my picture for "Quilting in Vermont".  I'm teaching there in 2015.  So, for those of you that can't get to NJ in late February of this year.  You could sign up to go for a weekend in Vermont in March of 2015.  More details to follow. In the mean time; here is the 2nd sample.  Just like to Loco for Lemoyne Star Sampler for Pennington Quilt Works, I'm making 2 of each Lemoyne Star, using Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design's Lemoyne Tech sheets.  Plus, 2 Lemoynes as Triangles with each selection. Lemoyne & Lemoyne as Triangle:   Lemoyne Fussy Cut and Fussy Cut as Lemoyne Triangle: Strip Piece Lemoyne and Strip Piece Lemoyne as Triangle: ...

With the Holiday Season and obligations, it is sometimes tough to get the "me" time to work on my sewing but I was lucky enough to take some time last week and then today.  I was able to complete a few of the blocks for my Loco For Lemoyne Stars Sample for Pennington Quilt Work.  I'm teaching a 2 day class on February 28th and March 1st.  It is a 2 day workshop.  I can't wait.  I absolutely love Lemoynes!  Hence  the class.   An earlier posting has a drawing of the final quilt! I'm making two of all the Lemoyne stars in Deb Tucker's Studio Lemoyne Tech Series. Lemoyne Star Fussy Cut Lemoyne Strip Pieced Lemoyne Add then I'm making 2 of each as Triangles: Aren't they great! I have a few more to go; Banded, Liberty and Blazing... they are on tomorrow's list!  We will see how that goes. Next, I will post the alternative selection. Hope the rest of you are getting some sewing in!
