Hi!  Well, this is what I have been spending my time on, lately, creating this fireworks extravaganza and writing a class for the Academy of Quilting on how to make this.  I had to learn as I went along how to make all of these different sorts of fireworks, and also how to keep the whole thing flat and straight while doing so.  Some of these are made with foil, foil glue and foil glitter, most of them are stitched with free motion stitching, a lot of them incorporate Angelina and/or Tintzl fiber, and they are all embellished with Schwarovsky crystals and/or rhinestones.  The city in the distance is the San Francisco skyline, and there is even a tiny crystal on the top of the TransAmerica building.  Great fun!  I have submitted the class to www.AcademyofQuilting.com, and hope to have it available soon!  I'm also creating an in-person class on this to take to Guiolds and other workshop venues.

There is vitality, a life-force, a quickening that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through another medium. It will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is…It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. - Martha Graham

"We can do no great things, only small things with great love."  - Mother Theresa

"When the eye, the hand, and the heart come together, that's when you get the greatest art." - David Hockney
