Appraisals, and workshops and QUILTS, Oh My:) -part 2

So in between all the appraisals and training, I have lectured and premiered my new, Fabric Collaborations, workshop to glowing reviews (not that I was shaking in my shoes or anything:)!

Have I told you yet that I will be teaching in Houston???  !!!!  Can you hear me squealing with delight?!

FABRIC COLLABORATIONS will be one of the workshops and the other will be my SWIMMING SEAHORSE which I recently taught to the West Pasco QG.

Here are some teasers to wet your whistle so you will come play with me in Houston...

Fabric Collaborations:
I revealed this last year in this post from September

The class with the Creative Quilters of Citrus County was everything I imagined and more.  The students were open minded, receptive to the idea, and really got on board enjoying something different. 
With permission I will show a few pics of what was being worked on,

Trish and her sister, Maddie, working 
on some lovely pieces inspired by 
the fabrics in their blocks!!
I REALLY LOVED this one!!! 
It had swirls and circles-WOOT!
 These Creative Quilters, Maryann Zutaut and Joy Streicher, had finished products from the Fabric Collaboration workshop with Robin Koehler to share with the guild....YAY YAY YAY!
It didn't have to be applique! 
As you can see above, 
a pinwheel was used to recreate 
the pinwheel from the orphan 
block and with the sewing 
machine, a spool and embroidered
thread were added.
Look at these fantastic floral appliques:)
SO FUN! Thank you Creative Quilters!!

Here is another sample I am 
working on to explain the process. 
Look at this FAB 1880s
block with a sweet daisy print!!

Expand that daisy out to the border and Voila'!

Thank you Kathy Cray!!

Don't you want to come play with me in Houston now??
We are going to have SO MUCH FUN!!
