On March 12th, I gave a lecture on my Folk-Art Fusion to the Foresyth Quilter's Guild in Winston Salem, NC. It was so much fun!
I love sharing Folk-Art Fusion with others. So what is it you ask?
Well, it's a "fusion" of techniques. It's wool applique, a multi tone on tone background, patchwork, machine quilting and hand stitching all combined with a Folk Art flair. Oh and fusible web!
My first book, Briarside Lane, should be out the end of May. There will be 15 different projects to make. It's lots of fun and I can hardly wait to show you!
Here are some examples of Folk-Art Fusion.
They were wrapped with bunny ribbon!
Thank you Carrie for the wonderful hospitality and for inviting me to speak to your guild!
Looking forward to sharing Folk-Art Fusion with you and maybe giving a workshop too!
So what are you working on?
Hugs!

Sounds like you had a lovely time with the Quilter's Guild and can't wait till May to see your wonderful new book!

What a very warm receiption and lovely hostess' gifts - that is special. The 'eye candy' projects from your book are a delight.
What a great collection of beautiful art and what an adventure you had. I think nothing is better than snoozing under a handmade quilt.
Love your work Shell! Your book is going to be hard to resist LOL!
I am working on a quilt from Sarah Fielkes book Quilting from little things.

Sounds like a wonderful visit and what beautiful gifts. I am anxiously awaiting your new book; the projects look like lots of fun to make! I'm working on Your pattern called Little Houses 1 wall hanging and am thoroughly enjoying it. Linda Hardesty
Oh Man. You are getting famous!
But listen - I got a gig doing a one hour talk about the first Earth Day (April, 1970) on this Earth Day, April 22! Other than making sure my pants are zipped have you got any tips? Maybe I should take a couple bunnies to pass around! Anyway, that is what I'm working on.
Very cute quilts!
I am so excited to have found a whole rabbit themed craft blog!
I'm working on finishing up March's Hannah and Harry:) I am so looking forward to your book Michelle!
Oh how fun for both you and all those lucky ladies to get a chance to meet you and see your creative art!! Sounds like you got Southern hospitality at it's best!! Wanna come to St. George, UT?? Maybe some day!! Love ya!!
I am never disappointed by your posts. Love every one of them! I love all these beautiful projects that you have, and it also was nice to see a photo of Carrie. Now I can put a face to her name! Carrie had told me that you were going;she was so excited. I do not blame her; I would be too!!
You must be such a wonderful and fun teacher dearest Shell. XO.
Just love the tea towel --- takes me back to when I was a child I had two bunnies hand made with felt a girl and boy, he was beautiful and my favourite and the girl was like the tea towel .
Your folk art fusion projects are wonderful. I am sure that the guild enjoyed having you and seeing what you create. I am working on several projects, including my Harrington and Hannah blocks. I hope to start April soon. Looking forward to your book.
