Fairy Tales with a Twist
My daughter and son (4 and 6) are attending day camp this summer. This week's focus is "Creative Dramatics," and they'll be putting on a play based on three fairy tales for us parents this Thursday night. Ethan and Ally are thoroughly enjoying the acting and craft-making. This morning, Ally decided to tell Mark and me all about one of the fairy tales: Handsome and Griddle. Gotta love kids!

Work trumps quilting
Another week and nary a thing done in the studio. Work is ramping up right now, as we're nearing production on the magazine, and articles have to be written, if not completed. So, between working and trying to keep the house under control, I've managed only to wash some of the fabric that's been lingering in my basement so that I can put it away in the studio. Please note: THIS IS THE ONLY LAUNDRY AND IRONING I WILL HAPPILY PERFORM. Don't ask me to remove a pesky stain (although I am a serious consumer of Shout) or iron your shirts, please.
I'm itching to work do some thread painting on the oil pastel heart. I've also got to get serious about the postcards for Postmark'dart! I was going to mess with the piece with painted fusible, with the intention of cutting it up for postcards, but my art quilt group buddy has suggested that I paint two more pieces and we use it as a challenge fabric. Oh well, I can always paint some more!
Because there is little opportunity to participate in fiber-related classes in this area, I've signed up for two at Quilt University. I'm so excited! I've wanted to take the Elements in Fabric class taught by Linda Schmidt for months! The other class, People in Places, is also taught by Linda. I brought the supply lists for the classes to our weekly group meeting, and one of my friends decided to sign up for the Elements class, too. Now to gather the supplies on the list, which we'll probably be sharing.
And, on a final note, our art quilt group finally has a name: The Grateful Threads!
