Bonnie Hunter, Part 2: Pride of the Prairie Quilt Guild meeting

Last night was the Pride of the Prairie Quilt Guild meeting, with Bonnie Hunter as our speaker.  It was a fun meeting.  There were 43 guests at this meeting, so, it was packed. 

We had show n tell before Bonnie presented her lecture.  Surprisingly, it was a short show n tell.

this will be a baby quilt

 The next few quilts are all Bonnie Hunter patterns that people have made.

***If you are easily offended, then don't look at the next set of pictures.***  With this presentation, we were laughing so hard that most of us had tears in our eyes.  Bonnie Hunter took video.  I'm hoping that she will post it soon. 

This lady is 84 years old.  She had told us that she was going to show off her bikini, made from quilt blocks.  (Sorry about the microphone stand being in the way).  She started off by coming out with a beach towel on.  She pulled out a strip of blue fabric, and told us it was her bikini bottom. 

the blue 'string' is her bikini 'bottom'

 Next, she started taking the beach towel off, to show off her bikini 'top'.

She showed us how 'adjustable' her bikini top is (to look younger, or older, depending on how it was adjusted).

***This is where to look away, if you are easily offended*****
She then proceeded to 'take off her top' by unpinning her blocks.

I do hope Bonnie posts the video.  It was so funny!!!!  You had to be there, to get it all.

There were some show n tell after the bikini.  What an act to follow, but, Christine's quilts are up to the challenge.

And a few more quilts and tops...

from a class Bonnie did 4 years ago (mine still isn't finished, Oops!)

a challenge, in progress

Bonnie spoke next.  (I didn't take these pictures, since I was one of the quilt holders).
The first quilt is Happily Scrappily Irish, which is our class today.

The next quilt is the class for Saturday (no, I'm not taking that class, but, I'm in the picture, holding the quilt;)

Texas Tumbleweeds

There were lots of great quilts that Bonnie has made.

The next quilt is for the class I took on Wednesday, Tulip Fields.

see how tiny her blocks are

Here is my block, supersized.

Bonnie's block is 7", while my block is 15" (without the borders added)

More of Bonnie's quilts.

 And finally, a picture of Bonnie.

It was a fun evening. 

This morning, I'll be headed out to the Happily Scrappily Irish class.  You can see Bonnie's blog post about the Wednesday class here.  So far, she hasn't posted the video from last night.  Give her time.
