I'm intrigued with the 60 degree angle. Several of my quilts are made using pieces cut at a 60 degree angle versus what we're used to at 90 and 45 degrees. I've just completed a quilt top using a variety of different hexagon blocks.
I love the challenge of experimenting and trying something new. With that also comes the challenge of finding an easy way to make a difficult looking block. Here is a block or should I say area of my quilt. It is fun and quite easy to make.
I recently had the opportunity to teach in Snow Hill, Maryland. What a precious little community and the people are very nice. As part of the Nassawango Outdoor Quilt Show, myself, Donna Lynn Thomas and Debra Gabel taught classes the three days prior to the Saturday quilt show. A bonus was our lunches were eaten in a different very beautiful old home each day. Quilters are a great bunch in every state and I enjoyed making new friends from the East Coast. The outdoor quilt show was held in a park like setting with cords strung from tree to tree. The quilts were beautiful as well as the venue. Thank you to Barbara Hudson for inviting me to Maryland to teach. Her and husband Kirk are wonderful hostesses.
Quilting is in the air as the temperatures cool and October fast approaches. Our focus turns from the garden to indoors and quilting. Check my schedule to find a class that might fit you. Gather 5-6 friends, find a location and we can arrange a date and a quilt pattern you'd like to learn.
Enjoy the final few sunny days. According to the Oregon weatherman today is our last 80 degree day. It's been beautiful and fully enjoyed.
Happy Quilting,
Peggy
