What a Week!!

I am back home again and have uploaded a slideshow of many of the glorious pieces made by the ARTISTS who took my workshop.

I cannot in good conscience take any credit for the amount of work, or for the high quality of work done while I was in the same room as these people. Their expertise preceeded my meager influence. I plan to steal all the good ideas they produced.

This is the work of Karen Allen. Her first quilt, she says. Huh? She is about 20+ years older than moi, and I shall be running to catch up with her.

These center two squares are from Libby Lee, age 79, who doesn't have a computer, but is friends with gals who do.

The assignment was make your own pattern, and also make your own patterned fabric (fusing elements onto a fabric to creat a patterned design). Her examples will be used in my slides from now on.

Ellie Ringer went from this, early on to this later in the week as we all played around with strips

after seeing the slide show of Marcia De Camp's series variations. Pat Clahassey who was the ring leader of the Strippers did this super number...

and inspired Judy Sebastian, for life!

We love this piece and its ice cream colors, by Libby Lee (I am pretty sure...)

So many more are in the slideshow and I know I left out some great work that got put away faster than I could find my camera. Please, send me more pictures, and I will add them to the slides.
