THE WONDER FROM DOWN UNDER - JEN KINGWELL!


Just when I thought it couldn't get any better
Jen Kingwell arrived!

Every quilt is totally scrummy!

She truly is a wonder from down under!
Happy, 
charming,
and delightfully easy going!

I've included some
Jen's-quilty-pearls-of-wisdom
as accurately as my mind could grab them.

Enjoy!





Think about movement.
Think about scale.
Think about getting a balance YOU like.




Points are personal.



Jen loves a big design wall.
She is always changing things up 
and switching pieces around.





Three inch churn dash is her favorite block.



Glitter is her favorite pattern.



It's all about 
what is pleasing to YOUR eye.


On the first day she guided us on Flutterby.
This is Jen's...


I always covet 
the stash of my neighbors!
(especially neat ones!)



Here's some of what we made.
The possibilities are endless!









On the second day she guided us on Steampunk.


Same block...
value play...
hmmmm.


LOVED seeing the shop through her eyes!


LOVED hearing how she loves life
and all it's wonderful blessings!!!

Thanks Jen! 
Thanks lovely ladies in the class!
Till next time.

ingING ALONG

Living.
I've been busy.
Momming, dogging, and 
teaching again this year - love it!

Growing
I am also taking a printmaking class.
Here's this week's print...


Enjoying!
Freddy was here again!
She was collaging...





and basketing...



There's always so much color!


I worked in the shop one day, 
but got to play on day two!

Joyfully stripping!




Freddy has reinvented her self yet again!
She is the Madonna of the quilt world!
What an inspiration!

Smiling!
Who is coming next?
Jen Kingwell will be here Friday!
Trunk show at 6:30!
