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.

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.

My sister and I have taken the class together 7 times, sometimes with other family members also joining us. We always have an enjoyable, relaxing day and go home with a beautiful painted quilt block to treasure. The instructors are very knowledgeable, helpful, and encouraging. I will probably run out of places to hang my paintings before I am ready to stop painting! This is a lovely way to spend a day. Ladies--grab your sisters and besties and sign up for a class!

My daughter and I have attended two barn quilt classes. My daughter (a 30-something) has really gotten into the planning and painting.
The ladies who guide you in the class are wonderful! So supportive, and they help make it a fun experience!
I highly recommend taking a class!
