This group knows how to dive in and have fun with all of the techniques that Jane is teaching to them.

Here is a hub of activity with three friends who came to the workshop together. One of them is Susannah of O’ Susannah’s Quilt and Gift Shop located in Watkins Glen, New York. Now there’s a shop worth visiting just judging by the friendliness and enthusiasm of Susannah!

One of the trio is Karen, who joined her friends in the class at the last minute. She is a traditional quilter, but was willing to give this class a try just to be with her friends. Well, look at the fabulous pieces that she has created!

The piece below is one of the series that Susannah is creating. It commemorates her daughter’s wedding. It’s just beautiful and it is giving me ideas for my own daughter’s wedding this October!

One of the things the group was working on today was creating their own stamps and then using them in a small art quilt.

This is Jane’s wonderful arrange of inks and some sample stamps.

Here is a stamp that one of the students made and following picture shows the resulting image when it was applied to fabric. Very cool!

Here is Jane giving some advice to Linda, who is working with an image of a fish. I’ll try to catch a picture when it is finished, but it is looking good so far.
