Garden of Eden quilt in process.

A recent teaching trip to Temecula CA found me in the good care of the Valley of the Mist Quilt Guild. This delightful group of quilt makers live in wine country! With or without wine, my students created wonderful work in one of my favorite classes, the Garden of Eden.

Marlene, Adam, and Eve.

Here you see Marlene with her Garden of Eden quilt top complete with Adam and Eve. Is it just me, or does Adam look a little like a gingerbread man? Does that make him naughty or nice?

It’s amazing what people will make when you hand them colorful fabric, fusible web, and a hot iron. Here’s a good example from the members of my Colorful Leaves class at the El Camino Quilt Guild in Oceanside CA. Each and everyone is an original design. Aren’t they lovely!
