Kate Themel's New Workshop

My Magnolia
Kate Themel, well-known for her award-winning art quilts, is embarking on another adventure to add to her resume of artist, curator, writer and SAQA co-rep.  She is developing several workshops for art quilters from beginners to advanced students.

My art quilt group, Sisters in Cloth, had the wonderful opportunity to 'trial' her most recent workshop in development.  She is offering us two half day workshops.  Yesterday was our first:  Working with her pattern, we developed our magnolias using her techniques.  During this coming week, we are to finish our layering part of the project from the kit that Kate included which contained Carol Eaton's incredible hand dyed fabrics.

Next Saturday we will re-convene to learn how Master Quilter Kate would finish with the quilting. 

It's really, really hard to stop smiling at how lucky our group is!
