Fabric Painting

Yesterday I stretched outside of my normal quilting box and took a class on wholecloth quilt painting from Susan Brubaker Knapp. We had 3 photos of hers to chose from. I painted this 8x10 in class. I still have some shading to do on the red leaf and then I'll quilt it. Looks pretty good to me so far (for someone who doesn't paint!)

FPQG Show Quilt

I'm in charge of the Foothills Piecemakers Quilting Guild show quilt this year. It's finally finished! Various members of the guild made the leaf blocks. I then added the triangles around each block, assembled the quilt, make the border while in Omaha, Nebraska, quilted it, etc. Tickets are $1 donation. The drawing for the quilt will take place at the close of our quilt show April 21, 2012. The quilt measures 92"x104". Let me know how many tickets you want...
