Keeping the Quilt Palace Warm...

The Quilt Palace has a wood furnace...

The Quilters will stay warm and toasty

while they are creating quilts!

Enjoy the Slide Show:

Many Thanks to Delbert and Brad

for filling the basement with wood!

Firewood warms you twice...

1st when you cut it

2nd when you burn it

Painting the Palace...

The Quilt Palace is getting a...

Face Lift

This is what the main work room looked like when

we moved into the Palace 2 years ago...

Big work area......but dark walls

This is my corner...

you can really see just how dark the walls are.

After 2 years of sewing in the dark...

it is time to brighten things up!

The paint is so dark that we need to prime the walls first...

My two trusty helpers.

Gunnr and my favorite guy

While they start rolling on the paint...

I removed all of the design walls....ugh.

My corner of the room....

Half way around the room...

The other half of the room...

Gunnr has had it with all of the painting!

The painting has come full circle...

Back to where we started painting the first wall.

Even the hallway gets a fresh coat of primer.

Look closely.....Gunnr is changing colors.

I think Gunnr got into his painting just a bit too much!

Here's a quick peek at the primed room:

We are heading into town to fetch paint samples...

Gunnr is thinking......light green paint.

Winter Retreat at the Palace...

The Harlan Valley Quilters gathered together

for a 3 Day Quilting Retreat at the Palace...

to get them under the needle!

Claudette is making a 

disappearing 9 patch quilt...

Abril is making a dinosaur quilt for her child...

Rochelle completed her quilt at the retreat...

Let there be.....Light

After working in our new location...

We realized we need more.....LIGHT

Especially over our cutting station

My favorite guy...

and my favorite dog...

GUNNR...

Saw to it that we have better lighting! 

The old ceiling fan is GONE!

We now have a big light 

over the cutting table....YAY!

Gunnr isn't sure what the excitement is all about

over the new Quilting Palace???
