    Marsye was so excited about the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt! Sue said it was easy to make since Marsye was there to help her out. Sue had challenged all of the quilters in the community to learn to quilt.

    Marsye and Sue are now giving quilting lessons!

    Marsye built a small house and shop close to Sue so they could start teaching quilting lessons and explain to others about the history of quilting.

    Marsye and Sue are so proud of the quilt shop. Sue's husband Magic Ripper and the guys from the saloon built them this quilt shop and made the cool signs for the front yard.

    Marsye is trying to decide what quilt blocks to start teaching her students. Do you have any ideas? If so please post the link here for some beginner quilting links.

    Marsye and Sue are getting ready to go watch the fireworks. I bet every time they see them will think of a quilt idea to make.
