Wool Applique & an Old Friend

One of the neat things about the Expo is seeing what's new!  But, even better is running into old friends & catching up :)

Kathy Gaul - Meetinghouse Hill Designs - is a Wool Applique Artist.  Our paths crossed several years ago at a Pueblo Quilt & Stitch Expo - I loved her work (and her) from the start.  My favorite design is "Baking up Some Memories" - you can almost smell the cinnamon & cloves! 

Kathy's work is featured in the March/April/May 2014 issue of Rug Hooking magazine where she shows how to create dimensional dogwood blooms.  Wouldn't they be lovely attached to a purse, jacket or anything!!  And, since she's right up the road (Colorado Springs), you can check out some of her classes, too.  She's a great teacher (I can tell) & very passionate about her designs - pretty soon, you'll be an old friend, too!    faith.

Pueblo Quilt & Stitch Expo 2014

It's NOT too late to get over to the Pueblo Quilt & Stitch Expo still going on today!  I made the rounds yesterday & managed to get a few goodies - left a few things for you to buy though :)  As always, I'm amazed at the variety of styles, fabrics, kits, trims, tools available ...  Something new I spotted:  resin quilting jewelry - lovely & unique!! 

Be sure to stop by the Stitcher's Garden booth & take a peek at my new design:  
The "5-Yard Everyday Quilt" - just look at the possibilities (THANK YOU PJ & LINDA)!!!
