Thursday i took a class called "billboard quilts" from Elizabeth Hartman, Author of Modern Patchwork. Elizabeth blogs at ohfransson.com. We were really lucky to have a small class which meant lots of individual attention. My project is to use the lettering technique to create some banners for church. I got a good start and Elizabeth drafted out the pattern I came up with complete with fabric requirements and measurements. It was such a great class! Elizabeth had lots of tips and tricks, and a great eye for color and design. I got the f and a done for the faith banner.
I still have to figure out what fabric the letters will be on. Elizabeth suggested a linen cotton blend, or a cream colored solid cotton or maybe a silk blend. Lots of options. I think I'll look for fabric at Stone Moumtain and Daughter in Berkeley unless something just pops up at me when I'm in Bend today.
The ladies went off for another class todsy, so I had a chance to sleep in and have a slower start to the day, which is nice after sll the busyness of the last few weeks. I brought the fabric up that I purchased in Ireland so I cut it into five inch squares to use in a disappearing nine patch.
...so much fun color huh?
Katie is on her way over from Portland. She and I will do some running sround in Bend, then head back to Sisters to stake out our spot in the line to get into the Picnic in the Park. Tomorrow is Quilt Show Day - ALREADY!
More tomorrow.
