4 days of teaching in Toowoomba completed. The gals were outstanding students and the photos below show their talent. I couldn't put up all 36 projects... But we moved mountains in those two classes.
What is realistic Applique...? As you can see it is applique depicting a picture. The students bought a picture to class and reproduced it accurately with Drapplique. The portraits are harder to do... but in 12 hours of class some wonderful results evolved...
I travel with a digital projector, speakers etc... so we had music to work by, the inspiration of beautiful quilts exhibited in Houston beamed on the wall, a lot of laughs...and even some tears.
Often portraits evoke deep emotions... sometimes it is a loved one who has passed away... but almost always there is a story behind the picture bought to class.
Thanks so much to Pauline and her staff at the Country Fabrics and Quilters store.
