PIQF

The beginning of our last day and let me tell you my bones are hurting. This has been such a great experience. We are already planning next year. It has been such a joy to meet so many kind and talented people. I was really surprised how many people we're here from our neck of the woods. So nice to see a familiar face walking down the aisle

















Mosaic Play, all hand pieced! Crazy right?





Phenomenal Quilting!

Weaverville with Linda Ballard

One of the real treats of owning Morning Star Quilts is the privilege of working with Linda Ballard. If you've never taken a quilting class from Linda you really must put that on your bucket list. I've known Linda for almost 20 years and I still learn so much from her. No matter how long you've been quilting this Wonder Woman will teach you something new! Sooooo this is how I work with Linda. We have the honor of hosting Mystery Weekends at Morning Star and we set up a mini store at some of her Weaverville Mysteries. It is so fun to be with her and her quilting groupies. Go Linda!

This weekend Rocki and Ronda ( the spectacular super sisters ) are in Weaverville with Linda. Here's a few photos of our mini store.














Have a great weekend!

Pumpkins

I absolutely love fall and pumpkins. Any kind of pumpkins, real, fake, wool, cotton, embroidered, and of course cooked. We have yet to receive fall weather. It is hot! Could we please dip into the low 80's or high 70's? Now my son who lives in Tempe would say "really Mom, this isn't hot! Even though it may not feel like fall we have decorated the store for fall.















Enjoy your weekend and come see us soon!

ALDEN LANE

We had one of the greatest experiences this weekend since we opened Morning Star Quilts. If you ever have the opportunity to go to the Alden Lane Nursery Quilt Show in Livermore CA you really must go. It's routinely scheduled the third weekend in September.




The nursery is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff is kind, courteous, helpful, knowledgable and extremely hardworking. Definately one of the gems of Livermore. Giant oaks embrace the grounds of the nursery. The quilts are suspended from an elaborate pulley system between the large Oak trees.
The variety of quilts displayed was awe inspiring.
Because of the sunshine and shadows my photos aren't the best but I would still like to share them with you. So here goes....




























I will post more another day. Right now these weary bones are ready for bed.
