I just returned home from my first day of a 4 day workshop with Ruth
McDowell. Wow!!! Last night she did a slide show and commentary. How
magnificent some of her works are. She has a great set of WebPages to be
viewed.

Today we were working from our photo enlargements and deciding between
curved or straight line piecing.

Our co-ordinators arranged to have our works enlarged to the size we
wanted
the finished quilt to be by a graphic art firm. They will be ready for
us
tomorrow morning!

I managed to get a copy of her Pieced Flowers book, it is now out of
print.
I'm looking forward to the next 3 days. Hope to maybe have a bit of the
fabrics cut up and ready for sewing. I'm planning a 30" x 44" finished
size, although I may bump it up larger when I see it tomorrow. I'm
working
on a gerbera daisy design, from a photo I took this year. She really
likes
you to work from original photos, due to copyright issues.

Cheers,


Wow! I can't wait to see pics of what you end up with from the class,
Sandi!

Right now I've almost finished my master and then have to trace it onto
freezer paper tomorrow. Should be auditioning fabrics tomorrow and maybe
cutting some templates and ironing on the freezer paper.

I got two piece of black foam core 20" x 30" that I'm going to tape together
to make a larger work size and pin the fabrics on as they are applied to the
freezer paper.
