For the quilt lovers out there, Big Sky Quilts has on display the winners of the Hoffman Quilt Challenge. For this challenge, all the participants are given a piece of the same fabric, and they create a quilt using this fabric. I had an opportunity to see the quilts this morning when I dropped off some blankets for them to take to flooding victims up in the Calgary area. These are not typical quilts; they are art quilts, and they are all just amazing! If you can, make some time to stop by and look at the quilts - they're back in the classroom, and they'll be there only until Tuesday, August 27.
For those of you in Helena, we'll be having a Blanket Bee this Saturday! I've wanted to do it all summer and I am finally able to make some time! Bring your sewing machine and routine sewing supplies to Prickly Pear Quilts, 10:30 to 3! We'll be in their very cool (both in temperature and ambiance, for those who've never been there!) downstairs classroom. I am so looking forward to seeing you all again.... it's been a very long time since we got together last!
That's it for now! Enjoy these last few weeks of summer. I'm already seeing signs of the seasons changing!
