I was able to go to Quilt Walk this last Saturday with some friends. Jeanna Kimball, national teacher, known as a true pioneer of hand applique was the guest lecturer. Jeanna shared with us her journey into quilting, giving us a history of her beginning projects. To view her quilts through a trunk show was amazing. 
This is one of the first quilts Jeanna made. Doesn't look much like a first project for applique does it? Observing her skill level helps me understand why she moved so quickly into becoming a published author.
This another one of Jeanna's first quilts.

I went to the quilt walk last year. It was really fun. My husband took me and it was a nice day and then we went to visit my sister in Toquerville. We had the best ice cream cone in Panguich. It was a fun little trip.
I love Jeana! I am such a fan of hers. I took a class from her maybe 2 years ago and I learned so so so much about applique. I'm ready to take another class. I just feel like she helped me step up my technique so much. She's a great person, too with a great story.
Wow! I have heard of the Quilt Walk, but never been. I'll have to go next year. Sounds great!
