Fabric Play

At last - finished and hung! This is an "Instant Art Quilt" started last spring. It is from a class by Ellen Lindner. Great fun to do.

And, inspired by Deb's banners - I made a Christmas "JOY" Banner.

What fun to have such a creative daughter! Here are the banners Deb made for me:

She'll be back . . .

. . . I know - because she left her shoes

Deb has flown back home to Texas. What a perfect Mother's day week. we laughed, created, ate & drank wine. We dyed wool and stamped paint on fabrics. We shopped thrift stores and made 50 cent skirts. We walked on the beach.

Fabric Fun

Last weekend I attended the Florida Tropical Weaver's Guild conference.
The workshop I took was Art cloth taught by Jan Navales. A link to her website is on the right. Check out her great fabric art.
Here are some projects from the class.
