We had an exciting time in Houston. We had our hotel located near Memorial Park and were surrounded by trees.

I had the chance to meet some mixed media/quilt artists :

Jane Davila

Judy Coates Perez

Lesley Riley

Pokey Bolton

Christine Adams

Allison Ray

Liz Kettle

Janelle Girod and Liz

Tammie Bowser

Cindy Walter

Natalya Aikens
Wasn’t I a lucky girl ?
And I had even more chance to follow some workshops with some of them at the ‘Make it University’ from ‘QuiltingArts’ and ‘Cloth Paper Scissors’.
This is a selection of what I made :



Today I made some pages in my sketch journal to remember those days :

Funky, Festive Fabric Book

Mixed-Media Mosaic

Felted & Stitched Ornaments

Fun and Funky Collage

Stampmaking for Quilt Artists

Surface Design Sampler


Altered Journal
I also made a special page for Sue and Terri with a short review with all the good things we did together.

I received some very special presents from Terri :

and Sue :

On the other hand I painted some tyvek today :

to add on this painted background (I topstitched some white cotton denim leftover) from Terri's workshop.

I will stitch the tyvek on the denim and will heat it up with the heat gun. Since I do not have an idea of a ‘realistic’ image of what to put on my background, I will let the hazard play a poker game. Curious about the result…
