Well, I'm back from judging and teaching at the Quilt Oasis Show in Palm Springs, the same with the Pacific International Quilt Show, I've successfully gotten through the holiday season, complete with a party for 45 at my house and a broken toe, only to take off for the Florida World Quilt Show January 6th.  When I got back from there, it was to find my washing machine broken (courtesy of my husband trying to do the laundry) and a broken shower.  In the midst of that, I was working on a commission quilt for a former Councilmember (which is almost done), and now my online classes are starting up again.  

Elements in Fabric is in full swing, but Winter Wonderland and Filament Fantasy are just getting started.  Here's a bit about each of those classes:



Filament Fantasy will be starting up soon (January 30th), so rev up your sewing machine and come and join us! We'll be playing with all sorts of threads and embellishment techniques, making quilt-as-you go small blocks (all of them different from the other), and finally creating a lovely wallhanging. If you don't like hearts, feel free to use some other simple shape - like leaves or shells or bubbles or boxes. It's great fun, and you'll learn so much about threads and how to use them in your own machine.





Winter Wonderland has just started, but I think you can still sign up - it's a wild adventure of painting a background snowy scene, then creating pine trees, snow angels, snowdrifts, a black river with reflections, then adding your own focal point of a wolf or snowman or whatever you like to complete the picture.  Let it snow!

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
