I have been dreaming about making a Laura Heine quilt...so when a class was being offered at The Stitchin Post, I jumped at the chance! And then...I panicked. The project was so outside my comfort zone. But, as chance would have it, I shared a table with two women who imparted wonderful quilting wisdom. Charlotte said, "You don't pick the project...the project picks you!" And Jette said, "Don't choose a project because it's simple, but choose one that inspires you." WOW...I so needed to hear that, and rather than second guessing my choice of pattern, I dove right into The Octopus Garden!

Although my project will be an ongoing for the Fall/Winter, we were all encouraged about a potential finish because one of the students, Cece, has taken the class before and brought her finished projects to share! They are both wonderful and I hope you are encouraged to give one of Laura Heine's patterns a try!

 

 

I put together a little collage of all the work in progress during class and hope you might see something that gets you motivated :) Enjoy, and stay tuned as we hit the road on another adventure which we will share here and on Quilt Roadies!
