This past Saturday, The Country Quilter closed. I have been a part of the store from the very beginning, the summer of 1990. The shop and the wonderful women who have worked there have enriched my life in so many ways - allowing me to become a teacher, helping me to open my own pattern company, Design and Planning Concepts, and more recently, providing the atmosphere where I am transitioning from more traditional quilting to making art quilts. Claire Oehler and Jane Davila have been both friends and inspirational quilters. I thanked Claire with this "art" piece, constructed on an empty fabric bolt and covered with memories from the last 18 years.

Oh Nancy... how sweet and glad to see you are BLOGGING!
Time now to add a design class to your list of class offerings, or maybe a quilt art class on things like perspective... hint, hint :-)
