We had a full house yesterday for our Hydrangea Paint Party….and everyone did a beautiful job on their canvases. I missed a few people as they left before I could get the photo. 😦 And we were thrilled to have several new painters with us. We’d love to have you join us at The Studio soon. Check out our upcoming events here. We just added two new paintings that we just love!

Sandy is Lincoln’s sitter. She has been with us even before Lincoln so she has been a family friend for a very long time. Recently she was admiring a specialty quilt that I made for another friend and I told her I would make one for her that featured something she loved. Did I mention that Sandy is an amazing photograper? Well, she is. So I wanted to make her quilt with a camera theme. I asked her to send me some photographs she had taken….some of her favorites. Having received them I started laying out a design that would include a camera and film and this is what I came up with. The camera and film roll are applique. The black and white film is pieced fabric made to look like film. I printed Sandy’s photos on EQ8 Satin Printable Fabric Sheets. The border fabric with cameras I got through Joann’s. This quilt took way more time in planning than I anticipated but I was happy with the results. And I think Sandy liked it!

I’ve written before about my student, Dianne, who brings her out of town friends to The Studio when they visit so they can paint a memory to take home. (See more here.) This week she brought her friends from Florida, Mary and Rick, who painted these lovely canvases. Great work!!!! Come visit and paint with us again soon.
