Class with Emily Richardson - Off the Wall Friday from Creations - Quilts, Art, Whatever by Nina-Marie Sayre

Basically the Before

Ready to Paint!

So the artist/teacher Emily Richardson finally was rescheduled this year to return to Quilting by the Lake to teacher the class Inspiration Through Reflection: Painting Fabric, Creating Quilts. I believe this was her 5th time at the conference over the last 20 years. Even though I loved her work, I just wasn't in a place that I thought I could confidently be taught what she did. BUT this year, I was and I'm so glad I did!!

At QBL, some years I learn just a bit and play a lot ...

Silk Painting 101 - Off the Wall Friday from Creations - Quilts, Art, Whatever by Nina-Marie Sayre

The painting Studio

So I decided to not take a quilting class at John C. Campbell Folk School. Okay, in my defense when I signed up last November for Silk Painting with Vicky Luffman, I really had no idea what it was. I mean I thought I knew what it was. You paint on silk right?!? But gosh I've been in the surface design quilt world for so long that I thought we would go in and put some paint on silk and then it would be made into something else. But no!! Apparently, people actually paint on silk ...
