Two Day Jacket/Embellishment Class for at Casowasco

Last week I taught a 2 day Embellishment/Jacket Class for the Tompkins County Quilt Guild at Casowasco Retreat.  The first technique was Seminole Patchwork followed by Seminole embellished with gold thread. 

An advantage at Casowasco is that you can also work all evening.

But we took time out to shop after dinner

The first day they also made fringe on an hairplace lace loom , crunched fabric and mystery fabric.

Day two most people made jackets from patterns or directions I had brought.  This beauty was made from Marimoko fabric.

And a strip of Seminole Patchwork from the first day. 

Tompkins County Quilt Guild Meeting

Tuesday evening I attended the Tompkins County Quilt Guild meeting in Ithaca. Their meetings are held twice a month, with the last meeting comprising a business meeting. The raffle quilt for the 2011 Quilt Show was just back from the quilter and is absolutely gorgeous. The next step is the binding.

This was followed by a very short show and tell. Unfortunately the lighting in this area was poor for photo taking.

This quilt had four cute bears in the corner and another on the back label.

This one was made from African fabrics brought back by the woman's daughter.

My outfit "Thanks Kaffe" from the 2006 Bernina Fashion Show. It is made from 135 Kaffe Fasset Fabrics and 5 long beaded bands from Guatemala and beaded bands from India. It won First Prize in the Viewer's Choice Wearable Art category.

There was a special exhibit by the Ellis Hollow Quilters with some fabulous group quilts.
Another one of the quilts from that group.
I loved the colors in these two from the regular exhibit.
