You know how some things are just better in person? Like fabric, quilts, and even teachers! Last night Judy Laquidara arrived in Indianapolis to give a lecture and two workshops to our guild. I was very excited to meet her after reading her blog for several months and participating in her weekly stashbusting challenge. She was a joy to meet in person and boy, is she funny! She was a little embarrased with the New Orleans Saints logo on her desktop in front of a Colts crowd, but we were forgiving, especially when she started pulling out the quilts to show!
Today I get to host a workshop on the last quilt shown and then take Judy and her husband out to dinner. I came home last night and started cutting fabric for the quilt and I am excited about how all the fabrics go together. Hopefully I will have some blocks to show tonight!
She lectured on borders, labels, and sashing and it was great fun to see all she does with her borders. She makes me want to get EQ6 (or maybe just steal my mom's copy since she doesn't use it ; ) to make some beautiful borders. Here are a few of my favorites that she showed.
