Workshop on the Web - Maggie Grey

In Bonnie McCaffery's latest vidcast, she interviews Maggie Grey. Maggie has developed a website with short workshops, authored by herself and others, downloadable via Adobe PDF files.

Maggie doesn't consider herself a quilter because of her interest in using a broad range of unusual materials. One of the teaser workshops is Maggie writing about using alcohol inks. In one of the current quarter's workshops, she writes about the uses of grungeboard. All workshop materials include photos.

For information, there are new workshops available every quarter. There is a reasonable fee (in British sterling) for accessing the workshops. You subscribe for the current year and have the option to request access to a previous quarter's workshops for a per quarter fee. After paying the fee, the subscriber is sent a password in order to access the password-protected and downloadable workshop documentation.

I'm tickled to have found the site! Click on the title of this post to be taken to it.

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas.  It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw.  There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along.  I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges.  The fabric also tends to ravel easily.

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.
