This weekend at the Dutchess Heritage Quilt Show, in the Village Fabric Shoppe booth, see the exclusive designs for Beautiful Valley. This quilt will the be Block of the Month in 2012. It has 12 of my original drawings as the twelve block designs that center on flora and fauna that is significant to the Hudson Valley. You may embroider them, color them with Inktense pencils, tsukineko inks, or acrylic textile paints, photo transfer, use TAP transfers, or any combination of the above. I have not yet finished the embroidery, but I have gotten them all colored with the Inktense Pencils and the top is together. The monthly meetings will develop you skills with Inktense pencils and embroidery. The instructions for the string pieced alternate blocks and borders from your own stash will also be included as we progress through the year. We will work with color in a very hands on manner. If you want to use the same fabrics as I did the sample in graded blue and green, you can purchase a kit while supplies last. I love this quilt and the first place you will be able to see it is at the show this weekend.
I will be in the booth with demonstrations of embroidery and working with the pencils ongoing as time and manpower allows.
