Well, here it is..August is almost gone :(
I'm not happy about that at all!
It's been a busy month with more to come.

I'm made a couple more Holographic Fiber Art Wall Hangings but I don't have a picture of one yet to share, must do that tomorrow. I sold one at Hebron Fair and others are very interested in the process.

My friend Kathleen and I went to the Mancuso International Quilt Show, Manchester, NH on Friday. We made a day of it, lots of walking and much inspiration. So many wonderful ideas, great quilting, beading and embroidery! I was sad that Pro Chemical didn't have a vendor space this year. I was all set to spend some bucks there. No one in our area sells MX dyes and I was hoping to get some without paying for shipping. I expected to buy more silk scarves too, darn. Now I'll have to order on line. But I love getting mail so I guess it will be okay.

I've done more mono-printing on plain fabric, mostly muslin. They need more attention and depth to them and that's my plan for playing tomorrow. I stopped into Jo Ann's Fabric & Craft with my 40% off coupon and bought a new book Mixed Media Master Class with Sherrill Kahn. More on surface design techniques!!

I hope everyone has had a good summer, take some time out to PLAY!

Here are a few photos:

The info with this quilt indicated it was her FIRST applique quilt and she completed it in 22 days while in recovery from an illness. Amazing and again, no ribbon :(
