PIQF - Day 2

I had a fabulous time in class today... so utterly fabulous and busy I didn't get any pictures taken and, since I worked through the lunch hour and on for quite a while after class was over, I didn't even get down to the show. That's saying something for me, since I hate to miss a minute of the show. There are so many quilts to see, not to mention vendors to visit. I'm being very good this year re the vendors... the only ones who've gotten any of my business are Just Imagination, Barb's Elegant Designs and Cherrywood Fabrics. Ananse Village will see me on Sunday before I leave, but not before! That is a far too dangerous booth for me to visit casually!

I very nearly finished the quilt top I was working on in class today - at least I have enough of it done to make a presentable showing at the Show & Tell party tomorrow evening. I was really working in my element today... putting a major dent in my stash of African fabrics and constructing a free-form piece. If I work my tail off when I get home, I think I can have it ready for Vallejo Open Studios on November 10 & 11.

Tomorrow is the last day of classes  ~8-(   I'll be working with Janice Gunner again, this time putting together a piece in a style she calls, "Contemporary Patchwork with Free Form Piecing." What is it? I haven't a clue, but I know I'll be free form piecing with more African fabrics, so maybe I'll wind up with two pieces I can ram together for Open Studios.

Here are some more pictures from the show... enjoy!

I see what you mean about Ananse Village! I bookmarked that page. Their traditional African tie die is to dye for..excuse 2 puns! Those quilts are all amazing.
