A Day of Inspiration!!

I had the pleasure today to once again spend the day learning from longarmer extroidonaire, Sharon Schamber and enjoyed a day of wonderful learning and inspiration! I was surprised when I walked in and Sharon looked at me and said "I know you". I'd taken a class from her with the longarm guild last March and was very surprised that she remembered me.

Sharon is a wonderful teacher and shares many helpful tips and tricks to quilting beautiful quilts. If you ever have the chance to take a class from her, go for it! She is worth travelling to learn from and is well worth the cost of the class, especially if you machine quilt on a frame system, no matter whether it's a short, mid or longarm.
Here are a few pictures of Sharon's quilts which she showed us today.

And here's our honorary student, Mango, a lovely HUGE orange tabby that just LOVES people!

I saw Sharon's quilt (the third one pictured) at Road to California and I can't say I've ever seen one that compared in regards to the quilting. It was absolutely STUNNING! Thanks so much for sharing.

I had a class with Sharon 2 years ago on piecelique- that wonderful quilt she won best of show in Paducha with with a million sequins a few years back- they're all falling off :O can you imagine thousands of $ worth of bling and it's falling off.
