Got any plan on September 30th (Monday)? Here's a suggestion.
Pack your fabrico markers and the excitement for the upcoming holiday 'Halloween'! 
and get on board with Jean Impey to the adventures of the amazing Halloween. 

Our first adventure took place On September 10th (Tuesday).
It was an amazing day with a full house of 17 crews. 
Did you miss it ? No worries!
We have another 'Vintage Halloween" class coming up 
on September 30th (Monday) at 10am


On September 30th (Monday) at 5:30pm, for those who couldn't finish 
their project, we are opening a class "Advanced Amazing Alphabet."
The class is opened for anyone who has taken 
'the Amazing Alphabet' and "Vintage Halloween!"
Don't let your UFOs(unfinished objects) wonder around! 
Bring them all in and finish your arts! 
Your complete piece can be a great wall-hanging or a perfect gift for your loved ones.

        Celebrate your inner artist with Carrie Bloomston's palette of inspiration, COLLAGE. By using brush and ink, she's created images with scissors and paste in the spirit of a collage. The prints are bold and artful, yet whimsical and playful. Like a stack of art papers, cut-up news print, and playful hand-painted images, the designs just beg you to play. As with many modern sewers, Carrie loves to sew with words. COLLAGE is filled with letters, textures, and hipster imagery.  The newspaper print is composed of quilting- and sewing-related articles, and the essence of this line is artful and handmade. Patterns for all of Carrie's wonderful projects can be seen on her website.

Be wild and free like a bird as you create this quilt..gathering scraps and placing them with a washable school glue stick. You'll create an art quilt you can cuddle under(or a wonderful wall hanging)in just a few simple steps! Break some rules with this fun, fast, and crazy-raw collage quilt.   How many eggs does your nest need?
