PTA FIBER GROUP - NOV. MEETING - PART 1

This month, PTA - Professional Textile Artists, met at the home of another well known quilt instructor; Linda Cantrell.....known for her whimsical and beautifully executed applique quilts.

We all just loved her coasters.....

Linda began her art career as a painter......many of those skills have translated into her work.  The motifs in the jars of this fiber piece have been hand drawn using inks/paints.

I loved this basket trio......sorry the photo isn't better!

Linda is actively involved in the Boston Terrier Rescue group.....and has quite a pack of Bostons of her own.   Here's a photo display she created in a bathroom.

 I don't know how she manages it....but the actions are truly generated from her own dogs.

She told us she put a plastic tray on the toilet seat and used a rubber band to attach the paper to the dog.  Hilarious!!

Linda had several of these small pieces scattered about. They are mounted on a canvas frame, measuring about 4"x 9"....charming.

Show and tell was especially wonderful this month.  Kate brought this clever quilt top.....what a great way to utilize scraps!!
