We just put up our latest show at the Key of C coffeehouse here in Ashland. The theme was coffee or music and we all used a piece of fabric called Dimples that came in many colors to tie the quilts together. Tina Somerset took a photo of coffee beans and manipulated it on her computer with the Kaleidoscope Maker program. Then she printed it onto fabric and embellished with beads and beautiful dyed fabrics. Be sure to click on the photos for a close up look.
Her beading is gorgeous.
Suzanne McBride also used photo transfer with a picture of her daughter. The guitar and the woman are very 3-dimensional.
Shirley Snowden made her own coffee beans out of a light weight clay so that she could sew them to her quilt. I thought they were real!
Rona Barnes created her first Crazy quilt using lots of lace and beads and tea dyeing fabric to get that antique look.
I had fun embroidering coffee cups onto felt. Shayna came up with "Mug Shots" and since I love play on words, it was the perfect name.
Elaine Turcke went with the music theme embellishing with hand quilting.
Carolyn Wolf also connected with music and used the opportunity to embellish with home made beads and pieced circles.
Carol Stocking did a wonderful job with her free-hand quilting in the background of her quilt.
The quilts will only be up for a month so tell all your friends to check them out.
