Baskets and Trunk Show by Natalia Bonner and Kathleen Whiting...

 These are my baskets for Lori Holt's Sampler Quilt from her new book, Quilty Fun...

 Close up of a basket...

 Natalia Bonner and Kathleen Whiting from Piece N Quilt went to the quilt store, Suppose in Preston, ID on Saturday...I have followed Natalia's blog for about 5 years and she is one fabulous machine quilter...

 She wrote the book, Beginners Guide to Free Motion Quilting and all of these quilts are from that book...

 This quilt Orange Slices uses her spray starch applique method....I must give that a try...I had some questions and she answered all of them for me....

 Different colorway of Orange Slices...

 My camera died before I actually got a picture of Natalia...

But, the lady on the left with the red top is her mother, Kathleen Whiting...after they showed these quilts, they showed 22 quilts from the book, One Block Modern Quilts which this mother/daughter team designed and wrote....what a fun time I had with this trunk show...

Next block...

The next block section on the Lori Holt quilt finished...

Twinkly stars....

 I have finished my twinkly stars row...

 This is for the sampler quilt by Lori Holt...

 Super fast, easy and fun...

They will post the next section tomorrow...

Block Jack and Apples...

 This month for quilt guild block jack, we did the block Birds in the Air 2 and we were to do the blocks in Christmas colors...the winner won enough blocks to make a nice lap quilt...

Lori Holt has designed a Sampler Quilt from her newest book release "Quilty Fun."  It incorporates the elements that she used in the Row Along quilt as well as some new blocks...You can find out more about it HERE...I made my block this morning and it was really fun!!!

Design Boards/Tree of Life Block...

 When I put my Tree of Life blocks together, I use these mini design boards by Lori Holt.  My sister, Rose made these for my birthday last year and I love them and use them...they allow me to lay out the block and sew it together much easier...

 This block has 4 different sections that are sewn before the block is sewn together...

You can stack these little boards with the blocks laid out on them and transport them or to make it easier to move from point A to point B...you can check out Lori Holt's tutorial here...

Barn Raising...

 Did a little bit of barn raising over my weekend...

 I love Lori's pattern...it went together so easily...

 Lori posts the next barn on next Wednesday...

 If you haven't joined in yet...you may want to because they are so cute...

I just need to add borders to make this a 20" block...swoon, I am in love...
