Quilt Blocks at Murphy's

Many thanks to Georgianna Fox, owner of Murphy's Steakhouse in Winchester, Texas for allowing us to showcase our quilt blocks in her dining room.  Georgianna is always an avid supporter of the Winchester community. Tom and Margaret Atkins installed 5 quilt blocks of varying designs today.  You can enjoy viewing the quilt blocks while you eat your meal or they are available for purchase for $85.00 and you can take it "to-go"!  The Summer Star Quilt Block is prominently displayed on the west side of this historic building. This block is part of our Quilt Block Trail, so Georgianna's staff serves many a meal to quilt block enthusiasts that are driving the trail.  As you can see in the photo, the Schmidt Building was built in 1913 and lends an historic vibe to our community.  So drive on out to Winchester and pick up at map at Murphys and enjoy viewing the 65 quilt blocks displayed in our area.

My sister and I have taken the class together 7 times, sometimes with other family members also joining us. We always have an enjoyable, relaxing day and go home with a beautiful painted quilt block to treasure. The instructors are very knowledgeable, helpful, and encouraging. I will probably run out of places to hang my paintings before I am ready to stop painting! This is a lovely way to spend a day. Ladies--grab your sisters and besties and sign up for a class!

I had such a wonderful day working on my quilt block. First of all the drive there is so relaxing and if you keep your eyes open you will see loads of quilt blocks along the way on fences, houses, barns, etc.
There are a lot of pattern choices for you to choose from. I knew immediately when I saw the pattern that was for me on that day. The ladies are so helpful and positive. I just lost myself in the work. I have a stressful job and I just melted in relaxation with each hour that flew by and I knew when I walked out the door I that WILL be back again. A friend told me about the class and I am so happy that I got to go! I am getting ready to sign up again!

My daughter and I have attended two barn quilt classes. My daughter (a 30-something) has really gotten into the planning and painting.
The ladies who guide you in the class are wonderful! So supportive, and they help make it a fun experience!
I highly recommend taking a class!
