Unruly Workshop

Tonya's Beautiful Quilts

The Orlando Modern Quilt Guild held a workshop Saturday with Tonya, the Unruly Quilter. I've been a fan of Tonya's since I started quilting. Her tutorials inspire and she always encourages creativity and fun. From her Lazy Gal Liberated Amish 2010 Get Together to her book Word Play Quilts, Tonya shares her love of quilting with everyone. Sixteen of us gathered to experience this enthusiasm and talent first hand. After a breathtaking trunk show (you should see her hand quilting up close), we jumped into the workshop part.

Machines were readied, scraps were dumped on the floor, and the playing began. We tackled Unruly Letters and Wonky Stars with abandon. Tonya composed our finished pieces on the design wall. Don't they all look great together? If you ever have the opportunity to take Tonya's workshop, prepare to have some fun! We sure did. Read more about the workshop and see much better pictures here.

This is my 300th post! Are you believing that? I started this blog so I could enter giveaways and then promptly ignored it for months. Eventually, I stumbled back to share and hopefully have someone comment on my work or babblings. Although talking to myself is okay too; I'm interesting. Ha! Anyway, I thank everyone who takes the time to read or look at pictures here in my little space in blogland. I love reading your blogs too. If you'd like to receive a squishy in the mail, leave me a comment below and I'll make you something or send you something you can create with.
