Yesterday was the day to start registering for Road to California Quilt Show classes. I hit the select button minutes after 8:00am. These classes fill up so fast...just after my selections were made I noticed many of them SOLD OUT! Very happy that Kerry and I made the cut for a Wednesday class Magic Mariner's Compass by Janna Thomas of BlocLoc.
This is the project we will embark upon. Pretty cool design. I will use another color or two or three... The second class will be on Thursday by a designer we are just learning about. Barbara Black will be leading us through Antique Rose Star. This one involves the dreaded curve piecing. It looks like it might be worth it though.
I have three quilts to submit for the show that will be January 18 - 21, 2018. All of them are traditional pieced using the foundation piecing. The talents of seven different designers were used in the making. I learned a bunch of techniques that have been added to my tool box. Go to classes and try things new!
There will be a time when my statistics will change, but it won't be this week once again. I am sewing...trust me =^.^=

Used YTD: 82.75 yards
Purchased this week: 0 yards
Purchased YTD: 19.5 yards

Glad that you and Kerry got in the classes, looks like something new to you. I know you will enjoy the classes
That is a beautiful Mariner's Compass design!
How fun that you get to take a class from Barbara! I have followed her blog for a while now. She posts some very thorough tutorials. Looks like she will be a good teacher.
I agree--taking classes is a great way to expand your quilting horizons!
