I am going to keep this short as most of the information I will be giving you will be in the newsletter. As I said in the email I sent out, Connie Parkinson had to cancel her seminar in May. However, we have been lucky enough to retain Diane Bunker for that same time slot. Our fee for members will be $75.00. Please visit her website www.dianebunker.com to see the work she does. Your fee will include:
Instructions, patterns, and pictures for selected projects, 1 jar of paste, a tip kit, Teflon, watercolor pencil, 1 jar of puff paint, a stencil (students choice at seminar), glitter, a spoon pendant, and a faux metal art kit.
I am trying to learn how to post pictures to our blog again, Google has changed to Picaso photo sharing and I have yet to learn how to do it. You should have received an attachment to the message I sent out.
At our next meeting in February we will start painting the quilt pieces. Please bring your regular painting supplies and any fabric paint you might have. I have been asked by several people about transferring the pattern to the fabric square. There are several ways to do this. You can use your regular graphite paper, a transfer pen available in the quilting section at the fabric store, a light box, or in my case, I reverse the image and have a copy made at the Office Depot or anywhere that uses a dry chemical toner. I then can iron the image to the fabric square. I haven't had any luck with an ink jet copy. We will be helping each other since some of you have not painted with fabric paint before but you will find it to be very easy. Once we have completed the squares they will be sewed together and quilted. We will then have raffle tickets for everyone to sell. Some lucky person will really enjoy a hand painted quilt.
We had a great time with Heather last month. I saw a lot of your drawings and they turned out really nice.
See you at the meeting a week from Saturday.
