ORBC Quilt Along – The Story So Far
Greeting from Virginia. Hello everyone out there in myBearpawland, I’m thrilled to be here as Jo’s first guest blogger!:) I asked Jo if she would mind telling all her fans about the new round at Old Red Barn Quilt Along and she said, sure… how about you do it and tell a little history about the group?:)
You betcha pal!
In 2009 our soon to be good pal Dana started the Old Red Barn Quilt Along flickr group with a Rail Fence tutorial and a sewing machine giveaway! She took us from selecting our fabrics to sewing on the binding and everything in between all with good humor and grace.
Photos were uploaded full of luscious fabrics.*
New quilting notions like mats, rulers and rotary cutters were shown with pride.
Photos heaped with freshly cut strips or nicely wrapped jellyrolls (of the fabric variety) were posted and people started commenting and ooooohing and ahhhhing.
Questions were answered, lessons were learned, a community was formed.
Amy stepped up and penned Round 2-Zig Zag.
John wrote Round 3-Wonky Log Cabin.
Heidi created Round 4-Modern Curves and this wonderful community just kept growing!
I was lucky enough to do Round 9 with the Ticker Tape Tutorial…..
….and now I’m honored to be hosting Round 15 with my pattern Angled Frames!!!:)
This pattern is
Did I say EASY?
To top it off I’ll show you all kinds of extras you can make with the trimmings!!:)
Oooh, pretty cherry blossoms!
Thanks so much for the opportunity Jo…this is my "first" too!;)
Guess I should have introduced myself at the beginning of the post! Haha!
Everyone knows you Dee! I'm saving the instructions to make soon 🙂
