SPRING MYSTERY - TRINK'S HEART

Saturday was a very busy day at the studio. Our second "mystery" started with treats that were actually "clues" to the name of the quilt. These party favors were waiting for the students when they arrived in the morning. Along with coffee, tea and a variety of home-made breads for starters.



Trina got the students started right away. Lots of things to get done before the end of the day. Linda and Carol get some extra one on one with Trina.

Linda was very happy with her quilt.


Barb's quilt reflects her own style. Barb will also be teaching classes out of the studio. Her new company "The Quilted B" is a new on-line quilt store. Check out her store and classes she will be offering at www.thequiltedb.com


Carol's quilt. All the fabric came from her own personal inventory of fabric. Didn't need to purchase anything to make a great quilt.



Although there is no pink in this quilt, Barb is tickled pink with the results.



This is my own version of "Trink's Heart". This was the test quilt. The pieced border was an option available to all students. If you would like to purchase a copy of this pattern contact Trina at cooksandquilts@hotmail.com or Debi at itsdebi@hotmail.com
