Just a quick check-in today as the week seems half-gone already, Easter weekend busy with a family dinner, and a surprise visit/overnight stay last night (ok, she called me on Friday, LOL) from my sister and brother-in-law returning from a trip to Vancouver Island.
Last week, I attended a two-day workshop called Branching Out – Nature’s Threadwork with Susan J. Jensen. It was a lot of fun and Sue showed us examples and we tried many new techniques. My samples do not do her teaching justice. She is wonderfully patient, encouraging, and inspiring. Her art quilts are just stunning and so realistic. I look forward to playing and practicing what we learned. What was especially wonderful about the class, is that she provided all the materials needed for each technique she taught, so you didn’t have to go out and buy packages of this and that, or discover that the fabric you brought wasn’t going to work. And she provides wonderful handouts with pictures included for reference. So worth the price of admission. 😊 These were just a few of the techniques. Go check out her page to see her beautiful art quilts,
