2017 Bonnie Hunter Trunk Show


My number one quilting goal was to attend a class with Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville Blog fame, but if that didn't work, the next best thing was to see a trunk show with Bonnie Hunter and meet her in person.  Bonnie specializes in scrappy quilts and of course I had to have her newest book, Addicted to Scraps.  The quilts in the book are amazing and I can't wait to try out her "Scrap User's System."  I need all the help I can get organizing my scraps. Her trunk show was everything that I expected and more.  She shared quilting tips, fun stories and many beautiful quilts.

Meeting Bonnie was an experience I will always remember.   She is so caring and inspiring.  I shared a copy of my book, 20 Jobs: A Memoir with Bonnie and she graciously suggested we get a picture together with our books.  I'm still smiling!    

I want to thank the lovely ladies of the Osnaburg Quilt and Fiber Art Guild for sponsoring this spring tea, "Who Gives a Scrap" and giving me this opportunity of a lifetime - meeting Bonnie.
