Last week I taught in Kansas City. It was so nice to see so many of my students from Columbia, MO, show up for my class. And I made lots of new friends in K.C.
I had an extra day and my hostess, Candy, drove me to see my friend, Jo Morton. We had lunch and I got to see Jo’s new quilts and blocks. SHH! Can’t tell you what they were, but you will love them!
Jo and I have been friends since 1992, when I taught in Omaha. We have kept in touch through the years and when possible we get together. Jo is a fabric designer, as well as being a fabulous quilt maker, teacher, and writer.

Jo showed me around her home, which is TRULY so special and I spied one of my favorite quilts…
Jo’s snowball quilt from her book, “Banner Day.”
This quilt reminded me that I have a snowball quilt in process. I pulled it out to work on when I got home. It is made with the Mariner’s Compass center octagon and an “add on stamp” for the corners. It is coming out so very cute! Can’t wait to finish it!
Next, I spied the table runner I made for Jo on her antique table with her pottery. LOVELY!
Apple Core table runner appeared in Jo’s book, “Vintage Journey.”
Made with the apple core stamp, I stamped out TWO apple cores at a time. I made one for Jo and made one for me. Jo’s is bound in red, mine is bound in blue!
Jo has her home arranged with her lovely quilts everywhere. I couldn’t help but fall in love with her little Lemoyne Stars.
Jo’s small Lemoyne Stars is perfect in this side board.
Jo just posted some little 3″ stars she was making on Facebook page. I was asked about making a 3″ Lemoyne Star stamp set. It is at the die makers as I write!
I’ve got more to share, but it will have to wait until I return from my trip to FL next week. Until then, call a friend, have lunch, and spend some time catching up with them!
