Winchester Quilt Block has gone international!!

Lynda left her home in Thunder Bay, Ontario to visit her friends, Tom and Margaret Atkins, in Winchester, Texas.  Luckily her visit coincided with a Quilt Block Painting class.  Lynda painted a beautiful rendition of a fall maple leaf.  Not wanting to carry this block on her flight home, she waited until Margaret and Tom found an excuse to drive to Canada to deliver the block. One month of triple digit temps in Winchester was a good excuse for Margaret and Tom to head north.  The block was delivered and duly installed.  The Canadian maple leaf hangs majestically on Lynda's deck and can be viewed by boaters, canoers, paddlers and jet skiers.  Winter will bring an entire new set of viewers as the locals walk, snowmobile, cross country ski and ice skate along the river.

I had such a wonderful day working on my quilt block. First of all the drive there is so relaxing and if you keep your eyes open you will see loads of quilt blocks along the way on fences, houses, barns, etc.
There are a lot of pattern choices for you to choose from. I knew immediately when I saw the pattern that was for me on that day. The ladies are so helpful and positive. I just lost myself in the work. I have a stressful job and I just melted in relaxation with each hour that flew by and I knew when I walked out the door I that WILL be back again. A friend told me about the class and I am so happy that I got to go! I am getting ready to sign up again!

Purchased one from the wall at Murphy's last night (first visit to Murphy's, will be back) Hummingbird will be place on our porch at home in Austin. Already loved visiting Smithville and now will always add a stop in Winchester.
