Petaluma Quilt Show

Today, my husband and I went to the Petaluma Quilt Show in downtown Petaluma. This quilt show is a bit unusual in that many of the quilts are hung outside on the street! Others were hung in the Petaluma Museum both inside and in the back courtyard. Here are some pictures of my favorites.

Reversible Quilt Class

While I've been on vacation the past two weeks, I've been taking online quilting class and learning some new techniques. The class is taught by Leslie Lacika and each week a new lesson is posted. Students also can participate in an online discussion and post photos of their work in progress in the gallery. It's more fun than just going through a book to learn something new but less stressful than going to a class in person.

Here are the first three blocks I made. One side:







And on the back of each block:







The next week we learned how to do 2 more reversible blocks:





















This week we learn how to put them together with sashing!
