Sometimes I just have to pinch myself...how blessed am I to live in a place that is home to so many wonderful quilt artists.
One of our local instructors is
Tonye Belinda Phillips. Her folk art quilts bring a smile to your face.
She has also collaborated with
Kathy Deggendorfer and
Sue Spargo in creating one-of-a-kind art pieces.
When the
Stitchin' Post in Sisters decided to host a Block of the Month using one of Tonye's designs, I was in line!!!
This program can be done by either attending support classes at the shop or by mail and since I am in and out of town on Quilt Roadie trips, it is going to be an "On The Road" project. Just like cotton quilts, using wool as a medium in quilt creations can range from the Primitive to the Modern.
The difference is the lanolin in wool will make your hands soft while you stitch...another reason to start stitching wool!
I'll be heading off to
Empty Spools later this week, so stay tuned for news from Pacific Grove :)
In the meantime, check out a few photos from our class with Tonye!
Have a wonderful week!

The gals at the Stitchin Post have been so helpful in sending the first month of patterns. I can hardly wait for the next two to arrive! Fun to see your Woolie Mamoth posts of the variations people are doing.
