Inspiration from Quilter Linda

I met up with Linda on my trip to Seattle. I've been corresponding with her about a year, mostly about exercising, but as you'll quickly see she is quite the quilter! After our meeting and shopping at the Brooks outlet we went a few minutes down the road to Keepsake Quilting.

I'm not a very good "selfie" taker, but I tried. Lots of fun samples in this shop.

From here we went to a class at her gym, then went to get cleaned up at her house. Of course I find it so much fun to see other sewing rooms. 

I'm glad I'm not the only one that makes quilts out of season. This is on her design wall. Linda does beautiful wool applique. 

Like the rest of us quilters, Linda has a few tops. There are touches of wool applique in this country style quilt too. Don't mind the date, I know you can relate!!

This was a fun and bright reproduction quilt. Looks at that wonderful fussy cut sashing!

 This quilt makes me want to start a small 9 patch with shirtings immediately!

All of my friends have ladders to display their quilts...except me! I need one!!

Look at this! We all know quilts look better in real life, but this had me beyond gobsmacked! This is a border for Kim McLean's Sprigs and Stars quilt. It was stunning!

I don't know if this is ALL of the leaves, but it is plenty. I was duly impressed and inspired!

Along with the quilting and gym workouts, Linda is a breast cancer survivor. She was also in a severe accident early this year and is still recovering.

She has recently joined a group of survivors to climb Mt Adams! How's that for inspiration? If you want to read more about this and possibly donate to Linda O. and Team Survivor please click HERE.

I made one more stop at a quilters home and you'll love this one too.

Happy Wednesday!
