A Little of This, a little of that

Hi Everyone, Well, here is the latest block for my Saturday sampler quilt. This is block 5 and I was lucky enough to get it made before this coming Saturday where I get block 6 for free. I really love working with these templates and Joy, Yvette, and myself (the three amigos) get a kick out of comparing what we have done !!!




















The three amigos, plus Joy's daughter Karen, (guess we are now the four muskeeters) had the pleasure of attending the International Quilt Show at the Long Beach Convention Center last Saturday. It was so overwhelming !!! SENSORY OVERLOAD is more like it. There was SEW much to see !!! We all want to make this an annual event.
















We were fortunate to meet and get a picture with Ms. Eleanor Burns of Quilt-in-a-Day fame and Joy even got her autograph!!! Ms. Burns also gave each of us purple boas....ha, ha, ha !!!



















Another favorite of mine is Ms. Marty Michelle. She designed the wonderful templates we are using to make our Saturday Sampler blocks with. These are great and it was so much fun to finally put a face with a name.














While at the quilt show, we also ran into Jenny & Ellen, as well as Ann from our Sunday quilt class. We all enjoyed lunch together and met a few other quilt-a-holics....All in all it was a wonderful time spending the day with wonderful friends.

Love to all
Karene

Your block came out great! Once again, you are the only one that did it right. LOL

Yay for another finished Saturday Sampler block! And yes, I see the difference....I definitely reversed the last portions! I got careless at the end and didn't look closely at the instructions. Oh well!

Yours is quite pretty!

We had the best time at the show, didn't we??!! I can hardly wait for next year!!

Hugs! :)
