Delaware Valley Friend's School

Greetings All,
Last week I spent a delightful morning with some art students from the Delaware Valley Friends School in Paoli, PA teaching them how to start a Crazy Quilt patch. They were all very enthusiastic. This is the second time I have been invited to Elizabeth Cantanse's art class and was again struck by the gentle nature and atmosphere of the class.
We started out with a base fabric, some 8" left overs I had at home and then added some pieces I had from my stash. All in all a fun time, especially watching the kids thread a needle for the first time:)

Fantasy Ocean Floor


Good morning all. This has been a joy to make. It's amazing what a few beads and charms can do to make a fantasy ocean floor. Try this for yourselves and be fearless. The initial investment is a minimal and the feel of accomplishment is vast. I will wrap this around canvas and frame it.
