International Quilt Festival Long Beach: Day 2 Open Studios

Friday morning started with a couple hours in Open Studios at Make it University.


My daughter Nina participated in Open Studios for the first time. She displayed one of her Asian ball jointed dolls and the clothes and wigs she designs and makes for them, as well as her sculpted hearts and skulls and a portfolio of her other work.



I was so thrilled to finally meet my online friend Alisa Burke, she is a creative dynamo! 


Here's my good friend Jane LaFazio demoing how she makes her gorgeous felted and stitched fiber work on a needle felting machine.


This is so Jane! You know you are gonna have fun when you're with her.


Pokey, Alisa and I between activities.


My friends Leslie Tucker Jenison and Jamie Fingal who curated the fabulous Beneath the Surface exhibit premiering at the Long Beach show, it will also be exhibited at IQF Houston in November.


In the afternoon I taught a workshop at Make it University making the embossed metal origami pop up book.
