Teaching in the Shenandoah Valley
The Shenandoah Valley Quilt Guild (Thank you Fran!)….invited me to teach in Harrisonburg, and I was thrilled to be able to return to an area that I used to love to visit when I lived in DC in my 20s and 30s. We scheduled a lecture, a half-day class (an abbreviated version of Balinese Garden) and a full-day class (Art Uncensored). The guild was so charming and welcoming, and had a lovely venue in a retirement center with a large, well-lit room–with good a/c since it *was* Virginia in summer!
Although it has taken me too long to get to posting these photos, I hope you’ll enjoy the students’ work:

For a treat, rather than going fast I took the old Shenandoah Valley highway 11. Love the old stone and wood buildings...

Love the "fuzzy caterpillar".... And one student asked if I had used the "Dashed" stitch, the one she used on the green spikes. I hadn't, but I sure will now!
Thanks so much to Fran and the wonderful ladies and gentlemen of the guild–I hope I get to return to Virginia and West Virginia to teach!

Oh that class looked like so much fun! I loooooove all the creations!
I just got my 7700 back from the shop (annual maintenance) and need to start working on my first art quilting challenge.
I may try some of the techniques shown here… Great ideas!
