Art Camp is Here!!

I can't wait till this Tuesday. Art Camp for Grownups begins, and we are going to make such beautiful things. Day one, we will paint backgrounds, sky and clouds, and begin to understand what our paint colors can do. Day two we will stamp and stencil, exploring how repeated motifs can be added. The third day is all about printing, using found objects and other techniques to add both textures and large images, or both, and our final day explores ways to use your unique fabrics and really show them off with work that only you can create as well as revisiting any technique you want to play with some more. We still have room for one or two more so show up and we can set you up. For inspiration, check out the post on this blog by Wen Redmond about the fabrics she just created. www.fiberartgoddess.blogspot.com Fabrics that end up that beautiful don't need anything but a frame.

I also want to thank all of you who have donated pillowcases. I have received from Wiltwyck quilters, loyal customers, and even a Home Economics teacher who had her students do them for extra credit. I currently have at least 50 - today's donations have not been counted yet. The Pillowcase Party we have scheduled is for August 20, so mark that day on your calendars, it will be a good time and for a worthy cause as well. We will even have prizes!! So if you can, join us.

For Father's Day weekend, all plaid fabrics are 20% off.
