Off To Long Beach!
I thought I would have more time to post before I left, but I’m in a rush. I consistently underestimate the amount of time it takes to complete a task. The table runner that will be the give away at IQF-Long Beach took way longer than I thought, but it was great fun to quilt. I went through 8 bobbins with skinny little Bottom Line thread if that’s any indication of how heavily quilted it is!
I am very excited about being one of the teachers at the Saturday Night Sampler! DH will be handling the retail side of things and I have 15 samples of how to make: “Fabulous Fills From Ordinary Objects”. Every day it seems I am finding a new fill motif inspired by some random object.
Last week I was in my local grocery store, uh, taking pictures of Kleenex boxes and various other items with pretty motifs. I sense out of my periferal vision someone approach and stand there just a moment before politely inquiring “May I help you?”. I started to explain what I was doing and then saw him looking at me like I was looney tunes. So, I quickly ended it with an authoritative voice-“I’m an artist”. That seemed to satisfy him. You know how those artists are….. What a giggle!
If you’re at Long Beach look me up! In addition to the Saturday Night Sampler I will be working the Studio Art Quilt Associates booth Friday from 11AM-1PM. I am so excited-gotta go pack!
What a hoot! I can just see you … being an artist in the grocery store!!!
The table runner is absolutely stunning!!! I’m excited for you! Have fun!
Beautiful! Have a great time at IQF.
Have fun and be safe Jenny. You have done a wonderful job on the quilting, Going to be one lucky person
Gorgeous table runner!!!!
Wow!! The folks at LB are going to love you. I’m with you in spirit.
Thank you all for your comments. I’ve been in Long Beach all weekend with a new phone and for some reason I could not connect to the internet. I had a fabulous time and it was a great success. Thank you all for your good wishes!
Quick thinking with that wonderful short explanation–You are an artist. And how! Beautiful quilting on the table runner.
Thanks Carol! It was a lot of fun to make the table runner and it went to a very good home.
