We made a quick trip to the Quilt Show in Chantilly yesterday.  It was the first time I had been and I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the quilts on display.  The amazing work that went into these beautiful creations was too hard to even describe.  Here is just a sampling of what I saw.

And speaking of sampling…… I am obsessed with these sampler quilts.  I think this is the  next big project.  And of course, there were wonderful vendors with terrific new projects for us to try. 20170604_185539 I particularly love the things at “Epicurean Boutique”.  Patty Vatter had the most glorious patterns for handwork.  You  need to check her out on Facebook to catch her next show.

One of the best places to get some colorful and interesting reference photos is at Farmer’s Markets.  Sunday I rode over to Little Washington with my friend Sandra.  We wanted to check out their market and even though it was drizzling rain we found some nice things (bread, baskets, and tea) as well as got a few nice shots for future paintings.

We believe everyone can paint….all that is necessary is the desire to do it!  We get new students in at The Studio all the time wanting to give it a go.  We love that!  Everyone who has ever wanted to paint should try.  Here’s Kitty and Mary, two of our newest students.  Look at the super job they did on their first paintings.  Nice work!  If you have ever wanted to try painting check out our classes here.
