When I was after a bit more inspiration, there were all Dale's samples, but also the WIP of the class was quite stimulating, as there was such variation!<BR/>Great to see the girls getting into the sewing, but what about the boys??

In my last machine mastery class, we did some free-motion quilting which I decided would be perfect for some pages based on Matisse I need to do. So now I've got four little mixed media WIPs (works in progress). Thank you for the encouragement. I'll take some photos and blog about it later.<BR/><BR/>I'm a geek and haven't decided to brave Vista yet. I am hoping to avoid it until they work out most of the bugs. The machines <B>did</B> talk to each other once, they just will not now. The manufacturer's troubleshooting directions were distinctly unhelpful as any geek could have foretold, but I gave them a shot despite common sense. So I'll have to experiment. I'm thinking of dedicating an old laptop to embroidery. Thank you for the encouragement.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that none of your readers/students will be surprised that you have a problem sitting still! You are a most prolific person for which we are grateful since you also share your ideas.<BR/><BR/>Keep working on the GCs. I got interested in art when my mother (a painter) took me to see a traveling show of Van Gogh's works at our local art museum when I was about 10. You never know what will spark their enthusiasm.Wabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03327252328190944633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702511045911868975.post-79649908885270321092008-02-23T17:33:00.000+00:002008-02-23T17:33:00.000+00:00I love the textures in the latest piece. wonderful...I love the textures in the latest piece. wonderful, having taken a weekend class with you a few years ago, I think you get the balance just right, the grandchildren are obviously following in your footstepsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761248438779437460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702511045911868975.post-76976779143368669432008-02-23T16:46:00.000+00:002008-02-23T16:46:00.000+00:00It is wonderful you spending this sort of extended...It is wonderful you spending this sort of extended time with your grandchildren, and how lovely for them to have a gran who encourages them to explore their own creativity without getting all fussed about mess making or some such.
