AQS Quilt Week

 I really enjoyed going to the show in Grand Rapids.

The quilts were gorgeous and the vendors good.

I swore I would not buy any more fabric well

that vow lasted all of   15 minutes. I did get some

lovely hand dyed fabrics.

 My class on Thursday -Stitched Paintings- with

Katie Pasquini Masopust was enjoyable. She is

such a nice person and a good teacher. The class

was lively and fast paced and I got a lot out of

it. We painted on 3 light weight canvas's that had

been coated with GAC-100 which makes a good surface.

We added some fabric on top of the painted surface

and than some more paint.Than we cut out 2 circles

and 1 rectangle switched them out and stitched

them, Than we sliced and switch twice more.

The resulted are the first 2 photos.

The 3rd photo is my scrapes stitched together.

This piece I will add some more to than cut it to

make some quilt greeting cards.

 Of course you cannot go to Michigan without bringing

home some fruit both fresh and jellied.

Also honey and maple syrup.It was a good trip.
