I am leaving for Houston in the morning and will be back on the blog Monday, so I will leave you with this chameleon painted with Tsukineko inks, it is a detail from a group quilt called Fauna.
I will have lots of photos to share on my return. If you happen to go to Festival and see me please stop and say hi.
I will be working in Open Studios: Friday 12:30-2:30 and Saturday 4:30-6:30.Come take one of my workshops making felted wool ornaments in Make it U Friday 3:00 or Saturday 10:15, right when festival opens.
Very interesting blog. Do share photos when you are back.
ReplyDeletejudy,
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful time in houston. i envy you the chance to see all the great new stuff there. and i'm sure your felted ornament classes & your fiesta demos will be a big hit!
it is thrilling when our kids are old enough to vote. here in az we have the good fortune to be able to request permanent vote-by-mail status, where our ballots are always mailed a few weeks ahead with a postpaid envelope for return. no voting lines!
anyway, happy travels. love the closeup of your Fauna panel, amazing work!
I will be in Houston too. We drive down Friday morning (I live north of Dallas). I don't know if I will take your class though since hubby is coming with me but I will certainly say Hi if I see you!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wanted thank you for posting the video about sewing on metal. It had some helpful tips. I started sewing on metal a couple of months ago and I can't stop. I love it! Until six years ago when I discovered quilting and especially art quilts, I hadn't sewn at all (other than Home Ec in junior high). Sewing is somewhat of a learning experience for me and the metal is way too much fun.
From the video, it looks like we have the same sewing machine too. Janome 6600. I love it.
Have a safe trip and I hope to see you in Fest Land. D~~~~
Have a safe trip Judy. I'd love to be taking your class, it loooks like so much fun! I wanted to tell you that I loved the metal video...I've got the stuff to try that so I think I will. Yay for your daughter voting! This will definitly be an interesting year on that front...see ya!
