As you can see, Mary Lou is a whimsical person, full of joy and delight. I thoroughly enjoyed this class. My creative juices are over the top at the moment.
On Saturday, five of our friendship group took the class, Texas Braid, from Bonnie Hunter. Bonnie Hunter is a delightful person with a sunny personality. And we had a great time. Sorry, I didn't get as many pictures. I spent my time sewing, sewing, sewing. This is what we are making. Bonnie took it off her bed to have for the class.
Here are a few photos of the braids.
And of course there is a quilt show. And a good show that is well displayed. My favorite was the Dia de los Muertos or "Day of the Dead" exhibit.
Dia de los Muertos is a celebration to honor the dead. If you are curious, you can find out more about it here.
Now to apply all this inspiration.
Quilt happy,
Marilyn

What wonderful inspiration! Love the MLW quilts! The braid looks fantastic! What fun! I learned about the Dia de los muertos quilts when you were making one on your blog for your step daughter. Wow! What fun!
Love the look of that completed Texas Braid. Can't wait to see all of the Wackos fabric choices.
Love your new look.

You are a woman after my own heart when it comes to Dia de los Muertos. And Mary Lou is quite a brave woman to lay those quilts on the ground where everyone's drool will dribble all over them! Love them!
What a great week!
