"Dreaming in Canvas: The Painted Quilt" workshop photos

Day-long workshop #2 in Houston was "Dreaming In Canvas:  The Painted Quilt".  Once again, our students inspired us with their willingness to step out of their comfort zones and try something new.
Here are some shots of the progression of their canvas painting, followed by images of their fabulous quilts!

and then the other
painted canvas (pre-fused) was cut and fused onto black felt

the students worked on Husqvarna Viking machines to create unique quilts

The quilts were beautiful, and every one was different!

Here is Maggie Winfield's fused quilt

Our students pose with their completed quilts!

Simply stunning!
