CLASS WITH JAMIE FINGAL!

Oh my gosh!

What a wonderfully fun and creative weekend 

working the rebel way 

with the calm, encouraging, and funny Jamie Fingal!

"Whatever floats your boat"

was the theme of our days!

We started with some textile paint

and Jamie's fabulous stencils from

http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/category-s/1835.htm 

Here's mine...

Then we moved on to 

using the stenciled fabric 

in our small quilts.

No batting! (part of the rebel way)

We put misty fuse

on the back of our made fabric

then we ironed it directly onto

Nonwovens wool/felt

The simplicity of using these products

in the mechanical part of the process

allowed us to focus on what was most important -

the creative part of the process!

Hooray!

A HUGE shout out 

 -filled with gratitude -

 to bothMisty Fuse 

and Nonwovens

as they supplied our materials free of charge!!!

Here's everyone's together...

Here's mine

(plus my new header)...

So,

I have been working on being in the moment,

checking in with my my self to ask,

(when I can remember) 

what would feel good right now?

how can I design my day from a place of love?

(what nourishment does my body need?)

When I woke up on Sunday morning and checked in...

the answer was -

play more with Jamie Fingal!

The second day of our workshop

was given over to Funky Folding Houses

(the rebel way again: no batting,

just using Misty Fused fabric

on top of Nonwoven's wool/felt).

Here's Jamie's...

Here's some from the class...

Here's mine...

I cannot say enough about what a wonderful weekend it was!

Perfect location,

  a happy group of kind creative ladies, 

and especially 

a most wonderful teacher!

(we even gave three cheers for Jamie at the end of class!)

Hip Hip Hooray!
