We had such a great time at Jean’s shop in Dawsonville. Sew Memorable hosted the Pine Needle Quilter’s Guild challenge and had it hung front and center in the shop. Don’t the quilts look much brighter in daylight? They look so much more vibrant.


The Dawsonville quilt guild, Heart & Hand was there also, along with a delicious assortment of handmade goodies. Kathy Humphrie’s chocolate toffee bars were addictive and when she told us the recipe I found out why! I didn’t get the whole thing but it involved two sticks of butter, graham crackers, one cup of brown sugar, Ghirardelli chocolate chips and nuts. What’s not to love?

Kathy was out sick when we had our Guild Challege showing a couple of weeks ago, but her quilt was finished and it’s now at Sew Memorable.

I think Kathy did a great job including hues that weren’t in the original challenge fabrics’ palette, AND she hand-quilted her piece.






Maria,I love your website! Very professional and great info! Thank you for showing our guild challenge so beautifully. The pictures are wonderful but I never realized how much talent we have in one small group until this callenge!!! Congrats to all of them for beautiful work. Kathy
