We had Eleanor's sister Pat Knoechel at our guild meeting last night. She brought all the new patterns (Barns!!) and lots of new tips and tricks for cutting and sewing fast blocks. We just love having her come...we are her last stop before she goes home after traveling for 6 months. Imagine...she started coming to Bakersfield 28 years ago when Quilt in a Day started up, and she's still visiting us once a year. I took my mom to see Pat's show, and mom loved it!! We bought a couple of patterns. We had so much fun watching Pat.
