I love to travel all over the globe shopping for textiles to add to my wearable art. I have taught quilting to school children in Nepal, seminole patchwork to seamstresses in Thailand, and jackets and embellishment to quilters in Turkey where I also served as a judge at 2 of their International Quilt Shows. I have created garments for 5 Fairfield and Bernina Fashion Shows and teach classes on embellishment and wearable art. Lately I have been leaning more toward making art quilts.

Sample from Cynthia Corbin's Class

This weekend I tried quilting in tiny rows on a sample I made in Cynthia Corbin's Class last fall. Do I like the result? My review is mixed. I like the technique of the tiny rows but it is terribly time consuming. I learned a lot about how various threads look when stitched out so that was definitely worth doing. Since this was a sample I didn't care all that much about how the result looked but I would be sure to make lots of small test samples on an important piece.

Cynthia Corbin Class - Day Two

Today's class was on free form design. We began with small studies than incorporated them in larger ones. Here is a selection of some of our work at the end of the day. As usual I don't have everyone's name. This is Pat Pauly's piece which began with the pink square and the one on the left next to it.
This was mine. I plan to add a very narrow black and white border.
Deb Roach used one of Judy's gorgeous fabrics for the piece on the left which we all loved.
Marcia was happier when she was able to incorporate a bit of turquoise into her design.
Barb Sassoon
And Pat Berardi.

Quilting Class with Cynthia Corbin

Today was the Class: Art Simply Done. The idea was to take a photo or drawing, simplify it and begin contructing it in fabric through a few variations. Unfortunately after lunch the power went out so the photos are mainly of the mornings work.
Marcia DeCamp's first works. And one more.

This was my first two pieces. I was pleased with how easily the curves went together on the first one but wasn't all that excited about the second one. The third one was in progress when the power went out.

One of Cynthia Corbin's quilts. I really liked the way she quilted it.
This was Barb Sassano's pieces.
