A terrific workshop with Mary Lou Weidman yesterday. She had been the speaker at the Surfside QGuild meeting the day before and had a full workshop with a waiting list. She is a good teacher, well prepared and attentive to her students.
Mary Lou and Del in front of "Asilomar/Pacific Grove", the Mary Lou quilt that is part of the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection. We hung it at the workshop so everyone could get a good look.
This is part of another quilt that Mary Lou showed and I was taken with the flower on the right.
Here is my version sans stem and birdie. I want to put some leaves on the stem and ran out of time in the workshop.
This was the first project to learn the Hoochy Momma style of piecing that Mary Lou uses.
Then we did a tulip in a pot. And went on to try other flower blocks. You can see how large the flowers are in the picture below.

Looks like I was taking a nap!
