Lines

This is the first task we did last week.

Lines

Floating lines.

Broken lines.

One line, two lines and 3 lines.

White on black and black on white.

Than arranged into a quilt.

I can see using these elements in future quilts.

I am off to the dentist today.

The first day of the class my front

tooth broke off. I did not dare go to a

dentist as I would have missed out on too

much and been left in the dust.

I said it was intense.



The FInal Project

I thought I would show you my final project

from my week long Nancy Crow workshop.

It is just pinned to the wall.

The work load of this workshop was intense.

I  got it cut out and pinned to my wall

but had no time to sew it.

So it came home with me to be finished

when I go back to the studio after Christmas.

I was so tired I slept 9 hours last night.

Plus took a nap after lunch.

I was really impressed by the work of my

fellow students.

Some very talented art quilters.

I have come to the realization that a 5 day

workshop is too much for me with my

health issues. In the future I will limit myself to

1 to 3 day workshop.

I did have trouble driving myself home

I had to stop every 20 to 30 minutes to

keep awake. BUT the important thing is

I did make it there and back

and survived the week with Nancy.

That woman has the energy of 3 women.

I learned a lot of  craft that will make

me a better art quilter in the long run.

I look forward to January through

the 1st of May when I get the most done in the studio.



Help

What can I do to add new photos to my postings .
I get a message that Picasa is full. I have lots of photos from
my Nancy Crow workshop and no way to share.
There must be some way to correct this
By the way I am worn out from the 5 days of class,
did a lot of good work and met some very great
quilt artist. My My there is a lot a talent in this world.

Sew Sew Sew

I start my 4th day of Nancy's class.

Sorry for the lack of posts.

Being in class for 12 hours a day

makes one very very tired.

In a good way.

Finally a workshop that is work.

I like to learn.

I appreciate the wealth of information

I am gaining even though I am having a

tough time keeping up. Eat, sleep and class.

I must get ready for the class I need to get my

circles cut and hung on the board before 9 am.

Adios.

The view from

 The view from the lakefront.

Today's ride to Muskegon, Michigan was a messy one.

Rain than snow for the last 12 miles.

5 hours in the car.

But I arrived safely.

19 of us had supper with Nancy Crow.

Nice and relaxing.

I think we will have a great time.

Monday at 7:30 we have to haul our stuff

into the classroom and be set up and ready to

go by 9 am.

Now to get a good nights sleep .

I will report in Monday evening.

Busy busy

 Sorry about not posting.

I do not know where the past 4 days went.

I was folding and packing the fabric for my Nancy Crow

workshop. Christmas shopping. Christmas baking.

It is amazing how much time it takes to sort out

what a person needs to take to a workshop.

Mind boggling.

I also need to get all my Christmas prep done.

I will have only 9 days when I get back

from the class.

The week-end promises to be warm and sunny.

I plan to get everything ready for the workshop

so I can relax the week before.

Spend some quality time with my husband.

Nancy Crow workshop

I did an impulsive thing.

Signed up for a Nancy Crow workshop in December.

In Muskegon Michigan right on the lake.

In the lake effect snow area.

For a whole week.

Think positive.

I am going to have knee surgery October 10 for a

torn meniscus. Bothered me since May.

Time to get rid of the pain.

 I will have 2 months to get in shape.

What a great incentive.

SO I went to my stash to look for 80 solids.

I found 13.

yikes.

I went on line and ordered 56 more.

I will dye the rest of what I need.

She recommends 80 to 100 one yard cuts.

plus 5 yards black and white each.

plus 9 grey

and the list goes on.

I figure I can wash and iron all of this

while I am recovering.

It is great to have a new project.

I have been burned out with the knee and

all that has gone on this summer.

This will recharge my muse.
