Textures Opening - Huge Hit


Friday evening, October 2nd our local group; Textures Fiber Arts had it's opening reception for our 3rd annual quilt exhibit at the Merc in Temecula, CA.  It was a huge hit.  Our group of 17 quilters all have big talent with a wide variety of quilting styles. Today, I'm working on two pieces; "Bad hair day into night" a play on featuring my hair stylist Michelle as the mythological character Medusa (see right).  I hope to finally finish this piece so that I can show it formally.  The second piece, my ink and thread painted quilted rendition of the legendary guitarist for the group "The Time" Jesse Johnson will be one that I hope to unvail at the end of the month.  We'll keep you posted on my developments
