My friend, Cathy Lexvold is quilting my Celtic Solstice. I have decided to leave the outer border as shown and frame it with a blue print binding that is used in my quilt. Hopefully that will tone it down a notch. Cathy does excellent work and quilts for a reasonable price. As I've said previously, this mystery quilt turned out to be a fantastic global class as our classmates were from all over the world and were wonderful about sharing ideas and giving helpful tips.
The price was right, too. Bonnie Hunter designed this quilt and published it free of charge with access through Facebook.
Every once in a while, Bonnie goes 'live' on the internet and it is called Quilt Cam. These are also archived and can be watched later if you can not watch it at the time it is 'live'. She always does Quilt Cam on one of her vintage machines and tells a little about each machine.
Many of her patterns are free on her Quiltville site. Bonnie is the ultimate scrappy quilter and teaches her techniques for saving and organizing scraps. Bonnie is full of energy and somehow manages to juggle a very full schedule. She's booked solid through 2016!
