Hurrah! I finished a quilt.

The quilt I started in Kate Themel's class is finished. I didn't declare it complete until I added the sleeve and a label, which took a couple of weeks after the actual quilt was finished.

Here it is. I just love the background fabric. All fabrics are by Carol Eaton.

I'm considering making another because I love Kate's beautiful pattern. I probably should make one of my own design, but then I'd have to struggle so much to decide on a design.

Class with Kate Themel

Sisters in Cloth are lucky enough to be taking a class with Kate Themel. In Part I  we used her patterns to create magnolias. We did as many as time allowed, which in my case was two. Homework was to make as many more as we wished.

In addition to Kate's patterns, she provided us with kits containing fabrics dyed by Carol R. Eaton. We got to choose our colors. Isn't that background gorgeous?

Here is my piece ready for tomorrow, when we will quilt our masterpieces.

It's going to be fun to see everyone's creations. You can see Diane Wright's here and the Sisters at work here.

 I am really looking forward to the free-motion quilting, not one of my greatest skills. Maybe I'll be better after tomorrow.
