Leaves

The Gabrielle Swain Workshop I am taking in May is about leaves. I, amazingly, looked at the supply list tonight (rather than the night before the workshop) and found that out. Now I have leaves on the mind! I think this is a great piece and I think the hanging rod and the dangling bits work for this piece. I don’t like cutesy hanging rods, or dangling things if they aren’t part of the design. I think they work with the overall design of this piece.

Nance O’Banion Workshop

I will be taking the Nance O’Banion workshop on Saturday with EBHQ. It is a little different than the normal quilt workshops, but I thought it would help with the visual journaling theme that I have been dipping into of late. I also hope that it will give me some ideas (and freedom???) to do more of the visual work. We’ll see!
