FABRIC PRINTING WORKSHOP

I did my

 "Tons of  Time-Tested, Tried & True, Terrific Textile Design Tips & Techniques for the Timid, Trepidatious & Truly Terrified"

workshop a few weeks ago with the Northern Lights Quilt Guild

in Lebanon,NH.

 

As always I learned as much from them as they learned from me. That's how it is when you get a group of creative people together and you explore all the things you can do using some basic supplies and simple, easy techniques.

 

Here's a sampling of some of the cool fabrics they created.

VENDING

NORTHERN LIGHTS QUILT SHOW

Hanover, NH

 

What a great time I had, vending my hand dyed fabrics, this past weekend.

 

My guild really puts on one hell of a quilt show. The creative energy from this group is contagious.

 

I always come home jazzed up to try new things.

 

 

Here's my booth - there's only so much you can do under the basketball hoop

 at the end of the school gym!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Northern Lights Quilt Show

This past weekend I was a vendor at the Northern Lights quilt show. It was amazing - I had so much fun. I saw lots of old friends & met so many great people.

 

 A few pics of some of my fabrics - they look so much brighter in person.

My hand printed leaves are always a big seller so I've been replenishing my stash this week.

I also did a demo of my stamping & printing techniques. I use lots of recycled and repurposed objects in my stamping. As I was printing these leaves I stopped for a break & discovered a new repurposed stamp - my yogurt container.

Call the Hoarders show now & stop me from SAVING EVERYTHING.

I also bought a few Shiva paint sticks & embossing plates from my vending neighbor at the show. I've been wanting to play with them for a while. Very cool  - but very messy - need to do more experimenting.

Renewal -Yup I'm Back

Spring is here (well almost) - time for some fresh new fabrics. I love getting back in my dye studio again. I'm going to be vending at the Northern Lights Quilt Show in April  www.nlqg.org so I've been adding to my already huge stash. Today is a perfect day to whip up a batch of  bright yummy colors. Maybe I'll do some snow dyeing too before it's all melted.
