Paducah and Mandalas

I leave on Sunday to go to Paducah, KY for the big AQS show I am vending at again this year. This show opens on Wednesday but I'm downtown in the Finkle building where the hurt books are and we open on Tuesday so I have an extra day to sell. I'll have handdyed fabric, snowdyed fabric, snowdyed mandalas, one of a kind fabrics, commercial batiks, stencils, ironing boards, books, patterns and much more.

My friend Kay Sorensen blogged about my snowdyed mandalas and gave a few ideas of what to do with them. Check out her blog at http://quiltspluscolor.blogspot.com/2011/04/snow-dyed-mandalas-paducah-quilt-show.html for some great ideas.

Busy in the studio

The past few days I have been busy in the studio with longarm quilting for clients, rusting fabric, and snowdyeing mandalas. If you can get past the blue and green ones I promise there are other colors. These will all be for sale in Paducha at the AQS show I'll be vending starting Tuesday thru Saturday in the Finkle Building downtown where the hurt books are and it's on the bus stops.

working in the studio

I have been busy in the studio the last few days but I can't share what I have been doing as of yet. Here are a few of the snowdyed mandalas  I did the other day.  We are experiencing some beautiful 70 degree days and will continue to get some great weather for the next week or so. The farmers almanac says we are suppose to get 23 inches of snow at the end of this month I sure hope not. I am really enjoying this beautiful weather being able to open the windows and air out the house and studio and also just enjoying some time outside.\

These mandalas will all be for sale at quilt shows. If you have questions please leave me an email so I can answer you I'm not ignoring you just don't have an email to contact you. The next few day I will be working on clients quilts.

Snowdyed Mandalas

Here are a few more snowdyed mandala's I did this week. It was a beautiful day today our temps hit 75 degrees the sun was out and the wind was blowing. Alot of the mud is drying up and the snow is all gone. It looks like I will have to make snow if I want to make anymore of these mandalas. It's been a crazy week here and I hope to get things back to normal this weekend with more dyeing going on.
