For Elizabeth's quilt in the Traveling Quilts bee, she sent along neon fabrics for each of us to work with. Monica's addition is ingenious, and then Dan's addition is really cohesive, bringing it all together.
It took me a bit to figure out what my addition would be and after waffling back and forth with whether to make my hi-lighters into a block or border, I decided to go with the hi-lighter block.
The hi-lighter patterns will be available on sew-ichigo in a few weeks along with a couple of patterns by Kerry. We're putting together a back to school set that will inspire!
One more thing:
QuiltCon registration starts today! You can see a list of the classes being offered here, and lectures here.
I'll be there teaching a couple of paper piecing classes and in some of my free time, I'm going to take a class from Lotta, doing some textile printing.
I hope to see you there!
xo, Penny

I am so envious of you going to Lotta's class and so happy to see your name with the other big names- you have officially hit the big time!

Love the highlighters ~ what a great pattern!
Wish I were going to QuiltCon just to take a class with you (tho taking a class with Lotta would be great too). Maybe another class in Colorado?

These highlighters are so cool. I'll wait for the pattern to make a little bag for my granddaughter!

Hey, love the highlighters. Could use a couple for all the article reading I'm doing. I'd rather be sewing!

Penny,
So excited that you are going to Quiltcon and teaching too! I love your hi-lighters. Have a good night.

I'm loving watching the travelling quilts make the rounds and your amazing highlighters are a perfect addition to Elizabeth's quilt!
