Oh boy, we are just having too much fun in our eQuilter classroom this weekend, with Jean Wells teaching a 3-day workshop for FRCQ. The class is FULL so there are a lot of sewing machines whirring, rotary cutters spinning, and gasps of general textile gaiety. By the end of the 2nd day here, we’re having spontaneous giggles and playful experimentation. Sophie is here as a personal shopping assistant for those brave enough to go out into the fabric warehouse. Every time we host an event, I feel re-committed to the Healing Power of Creativity, as Mama Bear and Fairy Fabric Godmother. We are all in the Zone together.
This week I wrote a Blog Post about Jane Tenorio-Coscarelli, who is coming here for 2 workshops in June. I included lots of photos so you can see more of her work. Jane is in Australia right now, teaching at the quiltfest in Melbourne. She is having a special Solo Exhibit at Houston this year, so come and join us this summer before she gets too famous and is booked up for years in advance…if you love Frida Kahlo’s artwork, Guadalupe and Day of the Dead traditions, you’ll love Jane’s style!
I also suggest that if you want to get into Cindy Lohbeck‘s amazing Ice-Dyeing, Ombre and Shibori classes in July, you snag your space soon! I met Cindy on Quilting Arts TV, and was just blown away by her Ice-Dyeing and Tie-Dyeing techniques, which is why Sophie and I will both be in her FOUR one-day workshops too.
Don’t forget that we have a corporate discount at the hotel just down the road. There is a link at the bottom of each workshop detail page. Boulder is a hot spot for tourists in the summer, so you might want to tack on a day or two up at the Rocky Mountain National Park above Estes Park. The longer I live here, the more blessed I feel, to live in such a beautiful place. But if you want to stay at this convenient hotel, you will need to book soon, because they book up in advance over the summer months.
My next trip is to the quilt festival in Nantes France! I am giving my “International Quilt Trends” power point lecture on Friday April 26, and I hope to see some of you there. I will also be giving this presentation at the Quilt Canada event in Ottawa in June. I keep my finger on the pulse of the big and small quilt trends, by going to quilt exhibits around the world and taking photos. If you can’t make it to my lectures, you can review my quilt photos on my photo pages here.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
