Kankakee

February 12, 2009 the Hen Party is going to Kankakee for quilt quild meeting.
In May the Quilt guild in Dixon, Il is hosting two old hens. New pattern Stars Among Friends will be presented. This pattern uses the techniques from Scrapples in a medallion setting. It is a great design to build your own ideas from and uses scraps in the color family of your choice. Happy Quilting.

Eggstravaganza 2009

Fashion show---------
Favorite wear for the day--

It was very snowy, but most of the hens made it.

Hen Party where we passed around fat quarters! Everyone went home with something.

Mark your calendars for next year 2010! Looking forward to another Eggstravaganza!

Two Old Hens

Need a program for your guild? Hatching new ideas and creating while having a hen party is what we do best. Donna Slater and Colleen Gift share, cluck and create so the whole group can learn while enjoying an eggciting time. Contact us at slatersewso@comcast.net to book your party. We also can do 3 or 6 hour workshops. We love to quilt and we love to explore new quilt stores and make new quilting friends. Go Chicken is a game with fabric strips , exercise to the Chicken Dance, and have a Hen Party.

American Quilt Society in Nashville

This old hen has been invited to teach at Nashville in August. I am teaching several classes on my patterns and one on the longarm. I am so excited and honored. My good hen friend Colleen is traveling with me and will keep me organized and on target. If any of you are going to be there be sure to be a good egg and stop by. Looking forward to quilting in Nashville.
