Very Very Fun!

I am thrilled to announce that I'll be teaching a mini-workshop at Make It University during the International Quilt Festival in Houston in November. I'll be teaching "Painted Paint Chip Mini-Journals" on Sunday, November 6 at 11:30 am.Here is the official description:

Create a mini journal with a whimsical “painted paint chip” cover. Learn to cut positive and negative stencils using freezer paper and tons of ideas for other painted, stamped, and doodled elements. Fill the journal with a variety of pages and finish using an easy Japanese stab binding.

In the past, I've had tons of fun participating as a student at MIU workshops at Festival in Houston. I am thrilled and honored to be teaching this year. Pokey and her gang create such a wonderful energy and spirit around the Quilting Arts and Cloth Paper Scissors booths on the show floor. I'm excited to be a part of it.

I'm spending time preparing samples and gathering supplies.
I'm hole punching, paper measuring and cutting, stamp making, etc.

I hope the students who join me on Sunday will get a kick out of this fun project. So, if you are going to Houston and will still be around on Sunday morning, please please please come see me and say hello!

These look very very VERY fun! What a great idea-- such a fun way to use those appealing color chips.

And congrats on your flight quilt being accepted! It will be a star of the show, I'm sure!
