Just This & That on the Minnesota quilt designers blog hop!
26 June 2009
Well today it's Sherri Fall's turn to be in the hot seat for the designer's blog! Lots of times I can remember the first time I met a Minnesota designer but I can't with Sherri. Not that she's not memorable but more because it's like she's just been on my radar for a long time.
Just a couple of summer's ago I took part in a photo shoot at Sherri's home ... she was featured in American Patchwork and Quilting. I love folk art and Sherri's house was filled with it! When I think of her I imagine her in her home and it really adds a different dimension for me.
Starting this Fall, we'll be holding Sherri's "Sweet Pickins" club at the Cottage ... patterns and tips and challenges throughout the year. A fun way to get together with other quilters. Make sure you sign up!! If you live in Minnesota and love the State Fair, register for my email newsletter. Sherri's going to have another surprise for those who print out the coupon and bring it to our booth in Heritage Square! {No pressure, Sherri!!}
Make sure you comment on her blog to get entered for the fabulous prizes! Thanks for ALL of the wonderful comments on my wool blog yesterday, too.
The designers will be taking the weekend off to enjoy Summer in Minnesota but make sure you get right back here on Monday for the next one! I'll have the link here on my blog.
I love the wool work. I've been collecting wool for years too.

Thanks for the tips on working with wool. I just purchased a new pattern using wool applique, can't wait to use your tips.

Had to be gone yesterday and was unable to post a comment. I am enjoying the "hop" and wanted to thank you for getting me inspired to try a wool project. You work is beautiful.

I have lots of wool left from rug hooking. Now I can use some.
