I am off to NJ next Monday. I will be speaking to the Garden State Quilter's Guild on Monday evening and teaching a one day workshop on Tuesday. Tried to get a non-stop out of Newark on Tuesday evening, but no go. But will get out on Wednesday before noon, so that's not too bad.
Then it is back to work in the studio. I am still beefing up my supply of small quilt works. I will be making a list and ordering in some supplies for my vendor booth at Quiltfest in Jacksonville, Fl. This will be my first time vending there, so stop by to see me if you are coming to the show.
The pattern has always been a popular one at the quilt show and for me to teach. I also can not keep my class sample because I someone buys them. Again, not complaining. To be prepared, I made three more. That makes 6th, 7th & 8th version of the same quilt. Over the last week as I was constructing this piece I took lots of pictures of it in progress and wrote and e-book that I hope to see with the pattern at upcoming quilt show and online. The online thing I'll tackle in a couple of weeks.
this is the image of the 6th one.
Ii used this simple flower pattern that I sell in my beginning silk painting kits and workshops to make it up as an applique sample for my booth so customers will understand my patterns are not just for painting. In this case the applique was faster than the painting.
I've found two locale sources for dupioni. I brought 1-1/2 yards of 54" wide from one place. And 1 yard of 44" wide from the other.
This what I painted today. Am doing this post while it is drying. At tis stage I am always wondering, pondering and critiquing myself so I will live with a day or so before I begin to quilt it. Not sure if I will get it done before I leave next week. If I do I will show it to you. If not I will when it is finished. It still needs additional shadows, highlights and stamens.
