Lavender Fields on Whidbey Island, 29" x 29"

Started in workshop with Jean Wells on Intuitive Landscape Quilts, September 2010. The Portrait Finish is her technique: a quilt matted with another quilt behind it.

Back from Sisters, OR

Cindy, Mary, and Buffy went to Jean Wells workshop in Sisters last week. She is a very good teacher with extreme depth of knowledge from running her quilt shop for over 36 years. The workshop was on Intuitive Landscape quilts. Projects to follow as they are finished. The focus was on color and design. She introduced us to the Zen-tangles, which we hadn't seen before. See the books at www.zentangle.com I've ordered the first 3, because I believe there are great machine quilting ideas here. All of my workshops at Sisters have been first rate. It's a wonderful destination. Beautiful weather and scenery and over all small town ambience.
