Quilt Fiesta - Zentangle Quilts

Two quilts at the Tucson Quilt Show used the idea of Zentangling. Many people Zentangle in paper and it is slowing appearing in the quilting world.

Tucson Quilt Show

Beth, Lyndsay and her King Charles Cavalier dog, Kipp, and I drive to Tucson to see the Quilt Fiesta. Lots of interesting quilts. 





















Raised Bead a Work

One of the Mavericks showed us samples of a class she attended where she learned how to raise her bead word up off the surface a bit. This beadwork stands out on a fibre art piece as it is raised. Neat idea and fairly simple. Just begin a strand of beadwork on a bead fastened to the art work. 


Mavericks - Show and Tell

I always love show and tell by fibre artists. You never know what you will see!  










Here are some recycled pieces of art:








Mavericks Meeting - Recycling Theme

This month's Mavericks meeting featured a recycling Artist, the Junk Lady, Shari Keith. She makes jewelry out of junk she finds on the street or at second hand stores.  Very interesting presentation. Amazing to see what items she repurposes!!
