TQG Spring Fling


 
Each year my quilt guild Tidewater Quilters' Guild hosts a Spring Fling. It's a nice day of quilting, food and fabric fellowship.
 
 

Classes are given by talented quilters in our guild, or if you like you can "Sit N Sew." It's hard to choose!!!
 

 This year, I picked the Quiltsmart- Mondo Bag which lots of people around here have been making, but which intimidated me!

You start out with a purchased foundational interfacing onto which you fuse 2 1/2 inch squares. Lots of cool color combos were working in our classroom.

 
Details are important....the pressing note is key!!

 This one is mine.....I had a load of blue batik scraps and strips from a scrappy trip quilt I made.


Construction was the most hairy part to me, but it was surprisingly simple.




At the end of the day, we "Show and Tell"....all the bags were beautiful!


Because I am the photographer and webmistress, I didn't get mine together, but that will happen soon!
