AQS Syracuse - a fantastic blur!

What an awesome week - teaching at AQS Quiltweek Syracuse was an absolute blast!  My classes were filled with some of the most awesome students - it was a good mix of over-achievers, quilties, and newbies.

An almost full house in my Build-A-Stitch class -- these ladies had some fun creating their own unique stitches!!

And look at these awesome projects from my Effortless Trapunto class - these ladies did fabulous!

Day 2 started with Piece & Applique the Longarm Way - we were having so much fun I forgot to take pics of the finished projects.

And then one of my favorite classes - Spontaneous Art Quilt -

These ladies were totally in their creative zones:

After class I managed to get over to the show for a few minutes.  I found my Wicked Challenge hanging with the Cherrywood Exhibit - yay!

And then on Friday everyone was in Feathers and Fills -- it was fun!

And my last class was Big Border Breakdowns -- unfortunately, there was so much creative thought going on that I totally forgot to take pictures!

I did manage to walk the show in full on Saturday afternoon. There were some amazing quilts - congratulations to all the winners. Here are some of my favorites:

And I spent a few minutes in the Gammill booth, of course! What you can't see is the AQS cameraman -- can't wait to see the Tips & Tricks segment we filmed -- wondering how tongue-tied I was as I don't remember even speaking!

Oh, and I almost forgot... there was a feature article about ME in the Show Book, tell me that's not absolute awesomness -- here's a pic:

It was an amazing Quiltweek!! I'll be teaching with AQS again in March 2016 at Lancaster, PA. You can follow along my teaching schedule on my website.
