Quilt-y visit...

A few more photos from the whirlwind visit by Tonya this week.
Rachel and Tonya inspecting a vintage liberated quilt
Got to meet up with lots of the local quilters who either knew Tonya when she lived in Georgia or knew her through the internet...
Brownie blends into the quilt a bit too much!
Seems like quilts were the focus of the week.  Every photo I took has at least one in it!  And most have a cat as well...this is Brownie posing on a pile of Orphan blocks and scraps that Tonya gathered around the house.  You can tell I had a real Moda red and green phase!  (funny I like this better in the photo than I did in real life!)
And a few more vintage blocks from the guild bag yesterday.  These sailboat blocks all have names on them but only 5 of the 9 have the names embroidered.

 I hadn't seen this block used as a siggy block before.  Would make a cute child's quilt.  I did get a chucke out of this block...who knew my cat had a last name!?  And so Southern sounding...

Looks like you didn't get to keep any quilting secrets hidden with this visit. : )
