Good Morning, Quilters!

One of the best parts of being a BERNINA Ambassador is the people you meet…

And one of the nicest people I’ve met is the amazing, Kelly Ashton.

  • I met my best friend through quilting, and also met many wonderful people in the guild that I joined when I started quilting.

  • I too am struck by the purple and the gold, both the piecing and especially the quilting, which “glows”.

      Purple and gold–opposites on the color wheel and always classic!

  • Beautiful quilts Lori… love the piecing and the quilting! I have made some great friends through quilting…. meeting wonderful like-minded people at quilt workshops and also through a local quilt group that I belong to and not forgetting to mention the online friends I have met through blogging from all over the World, some of whom I have met in person now too. It is a great way to connect!

    Love your new floral topper!

    Gee, Lori, you are wearing only a sweater in the Bernina mountains..Hot flash ?? !! My son has requested hexagons in his quilt.. I have been on lookout for the right easily sewn pieced pattern…have 10 fabrics collected already. This book may have a suitable pattern for me.

  • Are you sure you aren’t sisters?? Your smiles are great!

  • Happy new year! Beautiful piecing, beautiful quilting Lori. I particularly love the purple and yellow sample. I so wish that I could love maths. I guess my brain isn’t wired like that so I am grateful that people who do share their designs.

    Oh – what a small world! We’ve just signed up to take Kelly’s ‘Seven Fancy Sisters’ class at the Lancaster AQS show, my mother, sister and I. We’re so looking forward to the show, the classes, the shopping, and lots of girl time together!!
