FIBER JUNKIES - MAY MEETING - CONCLUSION

To conclude sharing all the activities the Fiber Junkies managed to cram into one day.....here's some show and tell....  Though, I didn't do a very good job getting photos of every one's printed fabric.....
 We all ALWAYS say we want to be at Val's table and simply copy whatever she is doing......her design skill is impeccable.  Here she printed over an already dyed fabric.
 And lookie at this one....a narrow strip of white fabric that turned into magic. using only two pressing items.
 Denny created a dynamic motif.
Kate recreated a previously dyed fabric with simple, but so effective, straight lines.
 Right after lunch we shared some of the projects we made since the previous meeting.  Gen added one of my beading techniques on the edge of her piece....naturally it was wonderful.
 Here's the full view of of Gen's art quilt.
 Denny wowed us all by showing a bunch of antique quilts that a friend gifted her.  Take a look at these beauties....


Thanks for hanging with me over the last 4 days of postings about the Fiber Junkies.  If you are joining me for the first time......scroll back.....you are sure to get inspired by the creativity of this group.

Mary, just want to say thanks for telling us about the LED light strip for the sewing machine. I bought one for my friend--she's 96 and has a bit of trouble seeing--and she loves it. I bought another for myself for my portable machine that doesn't have a light. They make a huge difference, and we're so happy to have them! You rock!
