Busy-Busy-Busy


It's been a busy time here this spring prepping for classes, trying to keep up with customer work, writing a few articles for an emag, etc.
Spring has sprung up quickly on us. A couple of weeks ago we had 16 inches of snow and now the floweres are poking up out of the flower beds and the temps have been in the 70's and 80's. WOW.
I'll be in Medina MN this Monday and Tuesday teaching the Falling Leaves class and giving a trunk show of my quilt art. It's sure to be a fun class.

Class at Country Loft Quilt and Design

Florals & Fibers on the Longarm
By Norma
Riehm
Just in time for spring. Come join Country
Loft Quilt & Design in a fun and creative class learning how to layer and
quilt at the same time with teacher Norma J Riehm, award winning art quilter and
national teacher.

Students will make a fiber layered art
quilt with silk flowers, yarns, Angelina, beads, crystals, and other fun fibers.
They will learn techniques for layering, hand beading, mctavishing, and making a
perfect binding. This all day class will give students time to also do hand work
for embellishing. This 6 hour hands on class will give students new techniques
for using the Gammill Longarm Machine. You will have a finished art quilt when
you leave.

There will be a trunk show of Norma's
layered art quilts to let you see the possibilities of using this technique.
This is a very fun class that inspires fresh ideas using the longarm.

What you need to bring: Reading glasses if
you need them for hand work, a notebook and pencil, and a camera if you wish to
take pictures.
