We had Edyta Sitar come and give us lesson yesterday and today at our Quilt Guild.......What an amazing lady........ :) She is so personalable. :)
She taught us how to do the Dresden Star. Her method is so simple. Each step she has each group come up and checks to make sure they are doing it right.....If you need help, she comes to your sewing machine and shows you.....When it is time to iron, she calls the group up again, to show you her technique.......If you ever get a chance to take her class, do it.....
She came to our Quild meeting with 80 of her quilts, and I was so lucky to get chosen to help hold them up.......Each quilt had a story behind them.......Such beautiful work.......After we were done she let us 4 girls get a free pattern for helping her. She is gonna make something for our Quild Quilt show next year......What a wonderful person :)

Sounds like you really enjoyed your meeting.

oh lucky you....I have the DS pattern and hope to have the time next year to make it...did you get any pix???

I've seen her interviewed on TV and she does seem like a nice person. How wonderful for you to belong to a Guild that can have someone like her come in!

I watched her on T.V. 1 day. She sure is amazing. Would love to take her classes.

she will be here mid-august---for a trunk show/strip swap and to show us her newest book! i am so excited- i look forward to her bi-annual visits!

She told us about her book some, and showed us her new material that she designed. Just georgeous............. :)

My LQS hosted her a couple of summers ago and I felt the same way. What a beautiful person! I loved listening to her talk about her quilting inspiration...she's so family oriented......I'd encourage anyone who has an opportunity to meet her and hear her - go for it!

anywhere near the THUMB?
