Jo's class part 2

O.K. I'm going to talk about Jo's class and my LeMoyne star blocks as I told you yesterday.

Here's the template that Jo taught us.

As some of you knows I use a cereal/cookie box for the template ( like the 1800's women*LOL*).

Well, Jo's template technique is very easy and much better than cardboard because it won't ware out. I'll stick with this way for now on, yup I'll up grade my 18th century sewing to the 21st century.

Plastic, here I come! *LOL*

These are my Lemoyne stars.

Jo showed me how to press them so that the seam lay flat.

Jo actually ironed and pressed these blocks for me.

Now I'm thinking about not using these blocks, I want to treasure them as a keepsak! :-D

So, I used the same fabrics and made more blocks.

The block pressed by Jo" will go to my Jo's Little Women club binder as a treasure.

Here's more of my LeMoyne stars.

I learn so much from Jo Morton.

I hand piece very often but she taught me different ways to hand piece and I love it!
She is a very sweet, charming, and wonderful teacher.

Each moment with Jo was so precious and I definitely love to attend her class again. ( and I hope I'll have a chance...)

Also I had a wonderful time with all ladies at her class. I was a quiet one, but I enjoyed listening to everybody's conversations. :-)

Thank you for stopping by my blog.

I'd like to e-mail you, please send me your e-mail address. :-)

I was Jo's helper at the class and earned a "helper" pin from the shows organizer but the most delighted thing was this 5" charm set that Jo gave me.

This is Jo's upcoming fabric line called "INDIGO BERRIES" from Andover fabrics due in February.

Very beautiful, I need to tell Michelle to reserve a FQ set for me. :-)

I asked Jo could she autograph my book and here it is, she even personalized it for me. :-)

Oh, I'm in heaven!!

If you want to know how to hand piece LeMoyne star, this is the book to learn by.

Her instruction is very clear and easy to follow.

I love Jo's books because she writes a little story behind each quilts that make it a good read.

When I need motivations, I know I'll pick up this book and read the little story behind her LeMoyne star quilt. :-)
