Sophie and I are at the CQC Fall Retreat in the woods, and today we were at the one-day workshop with Barbara Beasley, who also lives in Boulder Colorado. Barbara is famous for her fabric collage portraits of animals &#8211; particularly her Dogs and Cats. <br><br> This weekend we got a detailed lesson on making realistic eyes. In any kind of portrait, the more striking the eyes, the more the personality of the subject (whether human or animal) will jump out at you. <br><br> We have just confirmed that MJ Kinman is coming in early March to teach another fantastic class in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/category\/237\/classes-workshops-creative-retreats?fn=nl_20191005193524\">the eQuilter classroom<\/a>. This time we&#8217;ve asked her to teach a more advanced gemstone piecing class, and in fact we are collaborating on a design idea that will be exclusive to eQuilter! Please mark these dates on your calendar, and we will be opening registration soon. <br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/designer\/43\/jacqueline-de-jonge?fn=nl_20191005193524\">Jacqueline de Jonge<\/a> arrives from the Netherlands on Monday, and her workshop runs this week Tues through Thurs. We are excited that she is on her way and will be spreading her fine piecing magic here in Boulder. <br><br> Thank you for telling your friends about our charitable projects &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/about\/charity?fn=nl_20191005193524\">we appreciate your support<\/a>! <br><br> sharing your Passion for Fabric&#8230;
