Good, now Better

If one pillow is good, adding a second pillow is, of course, better. 

Following last week's pillow, I have also pieced this improvisational pillow to add to my collection.

Pillows are a fabulous way to create your room's atmosphere. They are fast to make and can be changed in the blink of an eye.

Cover up winter flannels with carefree summer stripes.

More flannels to cover up?

This fanciful pillow-cover is a quick change to brighten up my day.

Northwoods Rebels

This past week I had the wonderful opportunity to lead a workshop for the Rhinelander Northwoods Quilters.  The class material was Rebel Architecture, an improvisational piecing technique.

Some quilters are a bit hesitant when it comes to flying without a pattern, but after an introduction to various approaches, these talented ladies dove right in.

Some were inspired by a color or a small scrap of fabric.

Others chopped and rearranged extra blocks they had left from a previous project.

Each found a way to express herself on an individual level.

I was amazed and thrilled at the different directions each quilter went as 

they explored, experimented and then turned their vision into fiber art.

It was certainly a privilege to meet and work with this energetic group.
