Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.

I know you guys get tired of hearing me go on about the greatness of my guild, but.....

Our guild has a Special Speaker once a year. This is in addition to the regular meetings and is generally held in the fall. This year we hosted Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. As Vice CEO, I had the privilege of spending 2 days in her company. Carrie gave a lecture and trunk show in the evening and the next day taught a 6 hour workshop on her pattern Short Story.



Carrie is one of the nicest, most genuine people you will ever meet. And the creativity in this woman is amazing!! I am a pincushion freak, so I was thrilled to see her Fruit Salad Pincushions and get a pattern. These are the best I have seen.
The workshop was full of happy quilters and I was sad to see her go so soon.
Have I told you how great my guild is ???

Carrie asked me to photoshop 20 lbs. off her but I think she's fine just as she is.

    I wish I was part of your guild! You're always doing such wonderfully creative things. The guilds around me all meet during the day and since I work during the day I can't join. Thanks for sharing! Do you know you have a great guild, lol!! Cindy

    Sounds like a great time. Her patterns are so clever. Thanks for the comment on my blog. I see you're in Columbia - one of my favorite places. I'm a MU grad.
