A busy week – 2015.01.18

On Thursday, I did a trunk show for the Grouse Mountain Day Quilters Guild.

Earlier in the week, I pulled all of my quilts out of storage, decided which to bring to the trunk show and organized them into groups – early quilts, art quilts, modern quilts, portrait quilts, etc.  I rolled each group of quilts onto a pool noodle then placed the roll in a garment bag.  The rolls go into a folding cart for easy transport.  I took about 45 quilts with me.   Here they are displayed on tables after my presentation.

I’ll be facilitating a workshop on February 7th for the Grouse Mountain guild.  It will cover the techniques I’ve developed to create an architectural art quilt from a photo – most of which I’ve shared previously in this blog.  (The workshop theme was the idea of the Grouse Mountain guild, and I’m so happy they suggested it.  It’s going to be a lot of fun!)

I’ve offered to print out full-size patterns for the workshop participants from their photos – so that’s been keeping me busy, too.  Here’s one I did for Trish, the workshop organizer.

And, I’m working on the next tree quilt.  I was inspired by the foggy weather we had earlier this week.  While driving the other day, I noticed the ghostly shapes of trees in the fog, and knew I had to try to reproduce the effect in an art quilt.  Here’s what’s on my design wall.
