I don't have photos of her quilts since I was one of the people holding them up. Kinda hard to take pictures when you are holding the quilts.
Bonnie had two classes with our guild (Pride of the Prairie). I took
Patches and Pinwheels on Friday. I'm making mine using some of my Christmas stash. I have TONS of Christmas fabrics. I started making pinwheels and cutting strips for my 16 patches before Bonnie arrived.

Bonnie shows me in two of her blog posts,
here and
here. I'm the one on the hand crank sewing machine. We had fun chatting about our vintage machines. Bonnie is a really nice, down to earth lady. Her class was a blast. If you ever get a chance to take one of her classes, DO IT!!!!

I plan on making more than one of these quilts using my Christmas stash. Sew far, I've only worked on pinwheels. I have lots of fabric cut out for the patches, but, I was having sew much fun sewing my Triangulations, that I never got started on the patches. This is going to be my 'Leaders and Enders' project for the next few months, while I work on graduation quilts (3 are due).
Speaking of graduation quilts, here are the pinwheels that I've made this month for my nieces quilt.
I've had these fabrics put aside for a quilt for her for a few years now. I'm going to use pinks and purples for the sashing and cornerstones, and put these on point. I'm loving all the polka dots and stripes and plaids. I've never used stripes before, except as a border.
I'll be MIA pretty much until the end of the month. Family starts arriving in the next few minutes, and I'll be pretty busy. Have a great Memorial Day, and, remember why we have Memorial Day!
I love your pinwheels. I love the dot fabric. This quilt will be loved and treasured.
