New Zealand really is a very long way away from all the quilting action in America, so when a quilting celebrity chooses to visit our country we all rejoice.

| Anna Maria Horner with the quilt I made on her behalf |
We heard about her design process, for both fabrics and quilts, and then we got to touch all the quilts and study them up close.
On Tuesday we had the class and had the option of making Anna Maria's Cross Country quilt in any of the three ways shown above.
They are all beautiful, but I chose the third option.

| My plan for the centre |
Anna Maria talked about how she does applique and she gave some demos of her machine basting method.
It was a wonderful class, and I really hope that Anna Maria comes back to New Zealand again soon. Thank you Busy Bee Quilt Shop for hosting the class.
Now it's time for the Peacock Party. What have you been up to? Anything as exciting as a quilt class?
