| Original Bonnie Hunter quilts! |
What fun to see so many of her quilts up close and in person! It's one thing to see them in a book, or on the computer, but to get a close-up look at the fabrics, the quilting... well, it 's a whole different experience.
She had a show-and-share at the end of the program, and I was brave enough to bring up a quilt top that was just finished this past weekend. Charlotte's Baskets from "Adventures with Leaders and Enders." It was so fun to hear Bonnie exclaim, "Oh! You've biggie sized it!" Yes, I had made 8.5 inch string blocks without a project in mind and enlarged the basket blocks of Charlotte's Baskets to fit. When it's quilted it will fit on the full size bed at the Cabin.
It's raining today, so I can't get a good photo of it right now. But here's a shot from a week ago when it was 'in progress.'

I wish I would have known that was your quilt--I would have introduced myself! We were oohing and aahing too much to pay attention to names--lol! It was amazing to see Bonnie's quilts up close--the mix of fabrics was amazing.
