Susan Brubaker Knapp Workshop



After planning this for over a year, the workshop finally arrived. Susan is a gifted teacher, and of course, a wonderful artist. She brought wonderful examples of her work:




She guided us through her process with enthusiasm and intelligence. It was a such a wonderful workshop.










And SEFAA provided us with the most glorious wet studio.



And the end of two days, much progress had been made.


I can't wait to see how these whole cloth painted pieces develop.

June 2016 Meeting

We had a planning session and viewed an interesting video about artful ways to use orphan quilt blocks, plus there was terrific show 'n' tell. Apologies to those I missed. Sometimes I am having such fun looking at the pieces, I forget to photograph them!

Gorgeous piece by Debi started during our workshop involving upholstery samples, Beautifully composed.,

Work in progress by Marian. Vintage pieces captured in a quilt.

I somehow failed to take a picture of Kathy's wonderful pieces with black used as the neutral. Terrific and interesting organization and story-telling. All that an art quilt should be.
