Quilting-Texas Style!

Good Morning, Quilters! Woohoo! I’m teaching at the Dallas Modern Quilt Guild this month! I can’t wait! I will be offering a trunk show and lecture on Thursday, January 24th and a full day workshop on Saturday, January 26. We’ll talk about everything YOU need to know about machine quilting, including tips and tricks for choosing thread, batting and motifs. In the workshop, we’ll try a variety of quilting tools so you can see which works best for YOU. Try before you buy! We’ll work hard, but have lots of fun! (‘cuz I don’t mess with Texas!) In the workshop, we’ll learn a variety of motifs, marking techniques and how to create beautiful stitches on any sewing machine. The original plan was to make this adorable sampler…
But I couldn’t help myself! We’ll also have the option to make the “Don’t Mess with Texas!” version! There are a few spaces left! For more information, contact Denise at the DMQG president@dallasmodernquiltguild.com.
What about YOU? Have YOU been to a live class lately? Have YOU had the opportunity to try a variety of quilting notions before buying? Would YOU like to join us in Dallas!!! We’d LOVE to hear–and to meet YOU! Signed, Lonestar Lori PS…All tutorials, images and information are the property of Lori Kennedy Quilts and are intended for personal use.

  3. I’d really love to take a class with you at Road To California Quilt Show. Please consider it.

  4. Hi, Lori. Love Inbox Jaunt! I live in Illinois, but I’m an expat cheesehead with ties to Bayport and Stillwater. Would love to takeclass from you. Do you have a teaching schedule for 2019? Will you be at the Madison Quilt Expo in the fall? Admire you so! Kathy G

  5. Well, yahoo! and boy-howdy! Lori. Wish Colorado was a little closer to Texas so I could attend. I look forward to seeing another time in another place. Wishing you safe travels and lots of fun.

  6. I’m taking a couple classes at the Daytona AQS quilt show in early March, and can’t wait! The last time I had a chance to take classes was 2 1/2 years ago in Madison.

  7. Sounds wonderful, congrats! Took a class last year for ruler work, was a lot of fun and learned lots. Heading to Arizona end of the month on holiday. Looking forward to all you will post about your trip and class. Thank you for all you do and share!

    1. I’m taking a thread painting class, and I’ll take at least one of the “freebie” classes. The biggest concern I have about the classes is keeping the seafood off the fabric. I live in da UP, so when I’m within sniffing distance of an ocean I eat seafood, pretty much non-stop. Up here the local grocery’s “seafood” section if filled with perch and crappie. Perfectly acceptable aquatic fish, but I want SEAFOOD. From the SEA. The big one. With salt water.

  9. HI Lori- I love your work and try to follow it. I can’t find Aurifil 28 wt. Where you get it from? Thanks, Frances

  10. Oh my goodness! I LOVE your Texas block!!!! I won’t be joining you – previous commitments but hope you enjoy our lovely city!

  11. The Texas block is superb!** It would be a privilege and a delight to meet you and watch you work but I’m not a traveler. Are there ever any quilt shows on the east coast, mid-Atlantic region? (sigh!)

    **p.s. If I were you, I’d prepare myself to get requests for lots of different state block designs. (By the way, I live in Pennsylvania, hint-hint) ; – }

  12. Oh I wish I could go!! I’m in San Antonio and would love to make the trip but I have to work…booo! Hey! Can you teach how to FMQ Bluebonnets?? That’s our lovely state flower and I’d love to see what you can do with those! Enjoy your class and welcome to Texas!

  13. The Texas piece of work is gorgeous !! You outdid yourself again! I say, again! Have a great time!

  14. Anilla, nothing wrong at all with Lake Superior Lake Trout, or have they gone by the wayside, since I was a child,(a piddly some 70 yrs or so ago).

    1. I love trout; it is my favorite fresh water fish.. But when I want oysters, crab and scallops, trout don’t fetch it.

  16. Oh my goodness!!! That is amazing. Where can I find instructions? I have a cowgirl quilt I have finished but not quilted. Thank you for the super cute design.

  17. New Mexico’s shape is almost a square with a little bloop at the NW end. I will definitely try it!

  19. I do love your Texas design! I lived there for 32 years and have many fond memories of the state, but now live in Oregon. I want to thank you for your terrific quilting designs!! I have used many of them and just used the braided wheat design in a border. It took me a while to get it to look halfway good. I was glad to see your designs in the AQS magazine. Thanks again from a home machine quilter!!
