Work in progress
I’m just back from a lovely visit to North Carolina and now I’m off to teach in Bellingham, Washington. I am excited; Bellingham is the most darling little town and the surrounding area is spectacular! I am also going to finally have a chance to go to the La Connor Quilt Museum – something I’ve always wanted to do!
Kathleen’s Fuschia Chair – completed!
If you’re up north near Canada, Vancouver, or Seattle, Bellingham is a short and pretty drive away; and the weather is supposed to be nice for driving!
Work in progress
I want to invite you to attend the class or send your Up North friends to come to class on Saturday. I will be at wonderful Fourth Corner Quilts store and the class runs from 10:30 to 4:00. Contact the store to sign up at (360) 714-0070 – hope to see you there.
Work in progress
The chair class is definitely my most popular class, so if you couldn’t get into my class at The Sister’s Outdoor Quilt Show this year, snap up the chance to come!
Red Poppy chair – work in progress
Thank you to my students for the visual inspirations – I am always enthralled and amazed to see their creativity in action!
Carol’s Santa Chair with Pointsettia
I will show you more of Carol’s Santa Chairs soon! She made a series in the 12″ size. They’re amazing.
Love your Dream Chairs, I have made a wing chair, very traditional, a settee in artsy fabrics and a chaise is oversize florals. In each I have added a footstool with a dog sitting on it to personalize for my daughters. Need to make one for myself and already have the schnauzer for my footstool. Pics on my blog.
I agree these are the most fun projects!!! Great work!!!

Oh, Alethea, where was I when it was announced you were teaching the chair class at Sisters???? I’m actually going for the first time and sorry to miss out on the opportunity. I’m sure you’ll offer it closer to home some time soon
The photos in this posting are terrific!
Hi Maverick Quilts. We need to have one of those on that wing back chair. Store’s opening tomorow. Look forward to seeing you when you get back
