It was amazing how much some of the students accomplished in class, some completed the top of their quilt. I never do well in class. Can't concentrate, have to keep up with what everyone else is doing, taking pictures, shopping for more fabric, just can't settle down. I did not even cut any fabric, just worked on the design for a large quilt of fuchsias. The design is rolled up in a plastic bin with lots of other designs I have never completed.
The shop was large and had a fabulous selection of every possible cotton print, so we all took home additions to our fabric libraries. Ruth lived in a rural section of Massachusetts where it was miles to a quilt shop, so she always stocked up when she visited Kallispell. Here are the fabrics she purchased on this trip.
What a wonderful week, but over too soon. My friend flew back to the mid-west and I hit the road for SCalifornia.

Del this week is the start of QSDS where I took 10 years of classes. I learned a lot but can't say I ever made anything remarkable in class. Well maybe a collage piece I did the first day in Ned Werts class. But now I work primarily on my sweet sixteen that is not portable. And I don't need approval to work I have too many ideas as it is, LOL> But I do miss the camaraderie. Good to keep reading your adventures.
Hi, Del. Thanks for posting this - I enjoyed traveling along. I once took a class from Ruth and have attended lectures a couple of times. I, too, do not usually go home with a finished, or even started sometimes, project. I've also driven much of your route to Kalispell, although going the other direction. Thanks for the memories!
