I've been developing my "Folk Art Fusion" technique for quite some time now. It combines my love of applique, stitching and the simplistic fun of folk art. Instead of having a solid background, I have a fused, textured background. This is a small piece that I just finished. I think it looks great on that hanger. :)
I will be teaching this technique locally in the Fall. I have also been invited to give a lecture on this technique to a quilt guild in Winston Salem, NC. I'm over the moon excited about both opportunities! I truly enjoy teaching and sharing with others. I taught quilting for ten years until the local shop closed. I sure have missed it. I'm looking forward to bringing something new to the quilting and stitching world.
Soon I will be carrying wool pieces in my Shop, so stay tuned!
Hope your week is going good so far! Don't forget to register for my giveaway on the post below! :)

There ya go - getting famous! Watch out North Carolina.
You are a very talented lady. As always I love your designs.
I love your folk art style piece. The fused background gives the piece an additional subtle interest.
This is beautiful Shell! I love the COLOR contrast, texture, and I think the small size makes it kind of novel.
Next year can't come soon enough for me to see this new technique you have developed. I am really looking forward to you come to the guild.
