What a place! What a gal! What a design!Julie Bragg is, as you'd suspect, as good at teaching as she is at everything else. Nordson Depot, where we met for her French Country Quilt class today, is a gorgeous preserved and restored train depot that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. My great-grandmother loved to tell anyone she caught looking in a mirror, "You can't make a rose out of a cabbage leaf." Well, Julie can: no matter how far from the desired dimensions your quilted top has roamed, she can show you how to compensate for the error and scallop it after all, and she can do that without making you feel like a moron. I'm so relieved I didn't give up after the 27th error on the same project; thank you, Julie; it was a pleasure.SusanQueen of Egg Devilry
