Little Women club # 9


Last night was the first meeting for my Jo's Little women club # 9 class at my LQS.
Our first LW quilt is this nine patch called "Autumn crossing" and our teacher Kathy made this sample.
Isn't it gorgeous?



This is Kathy's Jo fabric box.
It's like a treasure box, don't you think??
I have some Jo's old fabric lines but Kathy has more. Can't stop looking in her box and seeing all the beautiful collections of fabrics! LOL*



Kathy's husband brought a PC to class so we all could watch on Youtube Jo's fabric schoolhouse by Andover Fabrics.
She is talking about her fabric lines and LW club # 9. If you never seeing this video you can watch it here.



I'm very thrill that I am able to take this class with my quilting buddy, Lisa.
She and I've been quilting friends since I became quilter but never had a chance to take any classes together.
So we are very excited and happy to be attending LW club class together.

Lisa is strip piecing her nine patches by Jo's direction.


and I'm piecing nine patches the old fashion way.*LOL*
I just LOVE this sweet little nine patch!

Our first meeting was very success.
Kathy's instruction and Michelle's(the owner of LQS) knowledge of fabrics were so helpful.
Also I met many other LW girls and they are all very sweet ladies.
We all had a wonderful time together and I'm looking forward to seeing them at the next LW meeting. :-)

HI Rei!

How fun to be able to take a JLWC with your friend...lucky you!

I am still waiting to receive my 1st month from LibertyQuilts.com and I can't wait!

Wish we lived closer to each other and I would be right next to you too!

Have fun with those 9 patch blocks...they are gorgeous!

Hugs,

We don't have one of those clubs in this area. I am sure you will enjoy going to the club. Post lots of pictures for us.

Hi Rie,

I also like to make Nine Patches the old fashioned way - from squares. Now there are two of us. LOL

Have fun making the quilt - I enjoyed making mine - even if the Nine patches were strip pieced.

I saw the sewing machine in your post and I thought maybe you were sewing your blocks on it...but no - you do things your own way and I think that's great! It is a lovely sample - sounds like a fun class - enjoy! Oh - I see Jo Morton has commented on your blog - how cool is that?

Libby said...

Oh what fun! I bet you just had the best time . . . . and I just LOVE seeing the classroom, I miss it so *s*

Jeanette said...

It looks like you are having fun! I just love Jo Morton fabric.

I found your website this week and ran to the local quilt store to buy the Quick Quarter and the 1/4th seam line ruler. Thanks for the tips because it's always an eye opener to find new tools. Thanks also for your great blog, I found it from Jo Morton's blog site, which is also great reading. So much to see your progress. Happy quilting, Sandy
