Quilted Stick Witch

 While I was in Georgia last month, my good friend Tanya and I went and spent the day at a quilt store, you know you have been somewhere too long when they give you a fat quarter of fabric when leaving because they have never had people stay that long.  While shopping and visiting we came across these fun stick characters  pattern by Happy Hollow Designs that are quilted.  What fun I had creating this witch that now sits in my entry.  Even though it done with 1 1/2" squares using the adhesive grid paper this witch was easy to piece and turned out with perfect, no stress corners.   
I am really enjoying quilting and socialize with the ladies here in the quilt house.  It is nice to have people to talk to that understand when you have to fire your gardener and can help you find a better one. 
It is nice to be able to call someone when you really need a little scrap of fabric to finish a project and you know Zamil's craft store in town won't carry it but one of these ladies will.
It is nice to talk to people who understand the world you find yourself in and suggestions on how they deal with it. 
It is also nice to get the chance to go back to the states and wander around quilt stores with good friends and touch all the new fabrics and see new patterns and wonder how many yards of fabric will fit into a suitcase and weight under 50 pounds.
