WIP Wednesday #12

Not a big week for accomplishments in my quilting world but a GREAT week for exposure!  This week in Nashua, NH  The Eastcoast Alliance 3 presented A Quilters Gathering.   Three members of our guild, The Souhegan Valley Quilts Guild,  had quilts accepted into the show!  Very proud of you, Faye, Kathy, & Terry!! 

I also took a class with my friend Patty.  The class was called Uncensored Art--the naked truth about techniques with Sarah Ann Smith.  Sarah was a very energetic and creative person who is busting with ideas and techniques! If you have a chance to take a class with Sarah I would recommend it!  She's lots of fun!!

I learned lots but didn't finish a piece as there was just too much going on!  These are two items I worked on.  The first was painting fabric using freezer paper stencils.

I can think of a lot of things to do with this for Christmas time!

The other piece I played with are a fabric art post card.  I was not particularly thrilled with my fabric choices but intend to add lots of bling and see what I can make of it...  with this one we used paint with all kinds of textures to apply it.

 I'll revisit this when I've had more time to play!

The other really great thing about A Quilters Gathering is the SHOPPING!!  They have LOTS of vendors, a great selection of fabrics with many that are not regularly available locally plus many new gadgets to try.  Patty and I found one to try with our new Art Fiber group but it's a secret for now - more later  :)

Also spent several hours manning our both for the quilt raffle - our drawing is on November 17th - if you're interested there's still time to take a chance to be the proud owner of this beautiful quilt!

Is that not the most beautiful smile?!!!
