I have truly been blessed to attend numerous classes at the Woodland Ridge Retreat. If it were not for the continued employment of my husband the opportunities would never have occurred. Today’s story is about another one of my excursions.
Last summer I participated in the Judy Coates Perez, Paint and Print Palooza. I had a wonderful time learning how to dye, print and silk screen fabric.

Watching the applications go from start to finish was entertaining.


I even designed and cut out my own foam stamp.


I created a minimum of 12 new blocks of fabric. These are two of my favorites.
Block 1 Block 2
Rather than point out all of the quilt’s wonderful features I’m going to share them with you through photos. Enjoy!

Eight of my favorite blocks. Click on any photo to watch a slide show of the gallery.

Last but not least, here is the finished art quilt.

I am so pleased with the final version of my art piece. My finished art quilt measures 64 x 47”. Hidden inside this family of blocks are oodles of special features. Click on the photo to enlarge it and see the many details.
Thank You for stopping by!
