Wonderful world of color blog hop

 



Welcome to my day of sharing on the wonderful world of color blog hop hosted by Joan at www.moosestashquilting.com.   I am so glad she let me join. 


I haven't been blogging for a while and I am glad to be back at it.   We decided it was time to retire, so we sold our home and bought a new one in a small town.   I grew up in a small town and I absolutely love it.  It is really quiet and peaceful.   I mentioned that we retired, so now I want to spend time writing quilt patterns and teaching at quilt guilds and retreats. 

On to the reason you are here. 



  When I thought about what quilt I wanted to share today, I decided that my yellow brick road quilt was the one.   I love this quilt and the colors in it.  This pattern was designed by   www.atkinsondesigns.com and is a very fun and easy quilt to make.  




 I have made it a few times and have taught it 3 or 4 times in a beginning quilting class.


These are from some of my students:






I appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog today.   I would love if you would follow me on Facebook and Instagram both at kathyskwiltsandmore.   

I love reading your comments, so please leave comments. 

I also invite you to check out the other bloggers for this blog hop.

  17. Enjoy your retirement. LOL Yellow Brick road was my kryptonite for some reason. Then I discovered a very important part of the instructions was out of sequence (at least in my mind). My friend Nancy made me a tutorial and I finished the flimsy. LOL Your quilt is lovely, and your students did an awesome job.
