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 took a class after learning about the trail during the Houston International Quilt Show. I have not had that much fun creating something in a very long time! While I can sew, I definitely cannot paint... The instructions and materials provided during the class enabled me to create a beautiful custom quilt block that I proudly hang in my sewing studio.

Thank you Winchester Quilt Trail for spreading the love of sewing through this Quilt Block Trail!

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!
