Jean labels, a Bunny and the Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival

Hi ya! Just a quick hop in today. Did you have a good weekend? Sunday was gorgeous! I went for two walks. One in the morning by myself and then one in the afternoon with Captain. It's now freezing and raining again. Ick...

I just had to share this art quilt with you. It is made by textile artist, Joy Pitts of Nottingham UK. You know why I was drawn to it when Pat Sloan talked about it on Facebook. Hee,hee,hee. Joy was commissioned by designer Paul Smith to use labels from his jeans to create a piece. There are over 2000 labels in this! I loved this article and I think you will too. Hop over HERE to read more.

Well, keep your bunny ears crossed that we don't get snow and ice later this week. I am suppose to be leaving on Thursday morning for the Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival in Hampton, VA. This is the festival I go to every year.

I will be meeting up with my dear friend, Shannon Shirley of Once in a Rabbit Moon. She and her Mom attend the show every year too. Shannon also has a display at the show! I will be sure and take lots of photos to share with you.

In addition to drooling over all the wonderful quilts on display, I will also be taking a class from Debra Konchinsky! I'm so excited! I have loved her pieces every year at the show. The class I'm taking is called "Felted Applique Alphabet in Wool." It involves needle felting wool roving. This is something I have seen in videos, but I find it a lot more fun to take a class with creative friends. I love learning and I think taking classes from others makes me a better instructor. It's going to be a great time and I will be sure and show you what I make.

Well stay warm and do something creative. See ya back here on Thursday.

Light, love and hugs to you,
Michelle, the Bunnies and Sabrina kitty too!
