We’re moving!

But not too far, just from our current space on the second floor of the Skipjack Art Studio, down to the first floor. The access here is better – no stairs to climb and closer to the restroom.

The entire space has been repainted, the lighting has been improved and we’ve added a new sliding door and window wall.

There will be more space for classes, and it will be easier for students to set up their machines.

In addition to everything that was on the second floor studio, all of my fabric and books from our Virginia house will arrive next week.

Everything should be in place in time for the December 14th Art Walk.

Upcoming class

Spinning Around the Color Wheel

Monday October 21, 1-4 PM

Chestertown River Arts

Location: RA Classroom, 315 High Street

In this fun class you will study color scales, color families, value, and color schemes. You will learn how to use the color tool when selecting fabrics for your next project.

The Ives color wheel is used in the world of fabric manufacturing and fabric dyeing, making it the color wheel most appropriate for quilt makers to use. The primary colors are yellow, magenta, and turquoise(cyan) like what you see in home printers. Joen Wolfrom has created the 3-in-1 Color Tool based on the Ives Color wheel. This is the only supply you will need for this class. You will get directions on how to create a small quilt based on the Sisters Choice block to remember each of the nine different color schemes.

For National Jelly Roll Quilt a long Day I worked on my jelly roll rug.

Last month I made the double folded cording out of 40 Jelly Roll strips. I rolled the long strip into a basketball sized ball.

Today a Zig-Zagged this long strip into a rug. I love the result, it’s larger than I expected!

National Sew a Jelly Roll Day

This week I finished two more tops for “Kamala” banners. And I hope to finish the quilting on them tomorrow.

I’m still working on the Medallion Quilt. Trying to master Long Arm Quilt Rulers.

August 14, 2024

We were on vacation and at the beach  most of July, so it’s been some time since I have Posted.

We are in Chestertown this week. The studio will be open from 12-4 today, (Wednesday) through Saturday.
The Kamala banner is up on my design wall, as my “coming soon” item. I need to quilt it!
But first, my Mariners Compass Medallion Quilt is on the long arm.
If you stop by you might see me working on it .
