Our guild had Vikki Pignatelli teach a workshop today. It was fabulous! She brought a ton of quilts, and each one was more wonderful than the last. We saw all but one of the quilts on this page:

She teaches the curved piecing technique in such a way that we were all just brimming with the possibilities. I can't wait until her new book comes out next month. If you ever have a chance to take her class or hear a lecture, don't miss it. She's from Reynoldsburg, Ohio, so if you live near there and are ever looking for a teacher for your guild.....don't hesitate to call her. You won't regret it. Kathyl

Adding to my own message. I just wanted to emphasize that she has many more quilts to show than just the ones on her website. Several of those have follow up pieces. Like the pond in different seasons. Can you tell I'm still pumped up? KJ

Those quilts are something else! When do we get to see your WIP?

Hummm, maybe when I get it unpacked and trimmed up a little bit. My stuff is still in the car. It was amost 10pm last night when I got home from our guild meeting. I didn't even come home between the workshop and the meeting because I'm on the program committee and helped set up for the auction we had last night. By the way, if any of you are on your guild's program committee, it's great fun to get a professional auctioneer to sell items that members bring in to donate. And I'm sure we made a pretty good chunk of change!! My project is three leaves and a stem. That's what I really enjoyed about her class though. We probably spent an equal amount of time being TAUGHT to the amount of time sitting at our machines sewing. I loved that.

KJ, I've seen her stuff in books. Does she just fuse down the cut pieces, or does she sew under edges or something? The designs don't look like they have fuzzy edges, but I can't tell looking t hrough a book.

No fusing whatsoever. She has a method of topstitch applique. Certain edges of each pattern piece are turned under and then stitched with a blindstitch to one that is under it. Clear as mud, huh? I guess that's why the class was so informative. Freezer paper and stabilizer are key components to the process. And an iron! KJ
