It's always inspiring to gather with fiber pals. Show and tell in this group always makes ya wanna run to your sewing machine and create.
Georgia Bonesteel shared this wonderful piece.....one of her own designs, based on the cotton bolls.She even piece a boll weevil in each corner.....so clever....and the colors of the entire piece totally sing!We were hosted this month at Lynne's home......believe it or not she lives in Flat Rock, NC.......but this is her view from her great room. Stunning!!Georgia's piecing and drafting skills always amaze us....(NOT that we are surprised at her talent). She covered a beach ball with patchwork. which even includes a zipper!Janice is another one of the skilled piecers in this group. I just love how she used the brighter blue border to compliment the other colors.This is Dort's son's wedding quilt. Filled with happy images familiar to the couple. Dort's picture quilts are truly prized.Judy has been fascinated with eco-printing ever since our other small group (Fiber Junkies) explored the subject about 5 years ago. She's gone deep into the subject........so deep she now even owns a heat press to speed up the foliage transfers. Her knack of combining eco prints with other materials is to be envied.I can hardly wait until next month's gathering.......

What fun, I like Judy's piece a lot!
Wonderful work- the Cotton Boll quilt is stunning. And a patchwork beach ball? Imagination on steroids.
It's always such a fun time when we get to be with "our people" and get fully immersed in the art and craft of what we love. We NEED those days to refresh our souls and spark our imagination. Glad you have your 'peeps'!
