It was another fun day with
Kevin the Quilter! Kevin stayed with my husband and I during his visit. What a great house guest. We got a couple dozen fresh eggs from Kevin's chickens. I'd never had a green egg before. Kevin knows from the color of the eggs, what breed of chicken layed that egg.

Kevin visited my little quilt guild 4 years ago. I wrote 3 different
blog posts for that visit. The ladies all enjoyed Kevin's presentation so much that when we knew for certain that Kevin was coming to my large quilt guild, we decided to have him teach a class just for us while he was here.
Huffman's Hotties helped start off Kevin's class.
Kevin taught us how to make his String Star quilt.

We had a great group of ladies at this class.

Of course, we had tons of great food for lunch. We had it spread out all over the kitchen. Linda got a head start adding chicken to her salad.
Everyone had some great string diamonds.

Kevin is a very hands on teacher. He loves to make sure everyone is having fun and learning new things.

By the end of the class we all had completed quilt tops.

Here is a closer look at my completed quilt top. The ladies with me are friends and drove up from downstate just to take both of Kevin's classes. It was fun to see both of them again.

It has been a fun few days with Kevin. If your guild ever needs a fun speaker, think of Kevin. I'd love to attend more of his classes.
Oh, to have been at your breakfast table (and in your class with Kevin, too!!!) Hoping to see him next year, as he is planning to come to North Carolina.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have Kevin again - so would love to have a chance to do a class with him.
ReplyDeleteSoooooo jealous !! Kevin needs to come to the west coast :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe he could come to your guild and teach a class. You can contact him thru his blog (link above).
DeleteThose quilt tops are fabulous! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous string stars!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time! Love the quilt tops. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteI wonder what we could do to entice him to come to the other side of the great Lakes! Buffalo may be a bit too far for him. It looks like it was a terrific time.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to have a finished top at the end of a class and not another UFO! It sounds like you had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day!
