I completed my first paper-pieced miniature quilt at the retreat last weekend. It's from the book Paper Pieced Mini Quilts by Wendy Vosters. The blue fabric I brought with me for the sky didn't work against the other colors, as the hue was off. So I had to go shopping in Melissa's store at The Compass Centre. She had the perfect batik for the sky, and of course, the name on the fabric bolt was "Sky." I had to quilt around the little red barn with black thread to make it pop and then made sure to quilt a door. It's not a barn without a door.
p.s. I got locked out of my bedroom again at The Compass Centre! It happened first in March, then it happened again this month! Are my roommates trying to tell me something? I know it isn't personal because another quilter was locked out with me this time. Thankfully I now know where Melissa hides keys, so my roommate was able to get the door unlocked. Those door locks have a hair trigger apparently and no one knows they've hit the lock button because they're so well placed behind the handles.
