PA Class Projects (aka Or did I just sign up for more UFO's?)

I did tell you in the last post that a Pamela Allen class is the most fun a quilter could have with scissors and a glue stick.  But this went way beyond that.  We had a blast and have the scraps to prove it. Pamela led us with fearless abondon, though never recklessness.  All these pieces by my fellow classmates are in various stages and none of these representation should be considered the final rendition.  You should also know that the titles are mine, as I have intrepreted them.  What story are they telling me?



I wish I knew who she belongs to...maker unknown...but I think she is gorgeous

One of my favourite things about this class was seeing the intrepretation of each artist when it came time to do our assignments.


Jester Meets the Joker...Cathy T's horse is a paint named Joker.



Cupcakes for Mama by Cathy T.  I know she did some editing after this picture was taken, so the finished product will be a variation on this.

Day 2 of 3 with Pamela Allen

Pamela Allen is a guest of the Edmonton & District Quilters' Guild this weekend.  One more day of the most fun a quilter can have with just a pair of scissors and a glue stick.  We are creating fabric art: the human shape and how we relate to it.  Twenty artists in the class with twenty different interpretations.

Each day with are given a pop quiz.  We are given a portion of a piece of art and the exercise is to finish out the painting with our own fabrics

Day one we were to create some original art using fabric, scissors and a glue stick (a few samples to follow).  A lot of hand stitching using  a ladder stitch to be layered on.  I got a lot of pictures but of everyone's but my own Day 1 project!!  More to follow.
