Empty Spools - Day 5 w/Ruth B. McDowell 03-29-12

The time has gone so quickly - always does!  Tomorrow we need to have everything out of our sleeping rooms and our classrooms by 11am, so I need to do some packing tonight and, as usual, am sooo tired.  Necessity decrees this will be a short post. 

 
The pink Calla Lily is being created by Karen Melvin.  Her inspiration on the left, quilt in progress on right.

 
And these are the fabrics she brought to work with.

It is always interesting to see the fabrics that students bring to class (and purchase after they arrive here) and how they deal with them.  Some are very tidy and fold each piece after cutting.  Others just let them pile up and then stop to do a folding/tidying session when it becomes necessary.  Here are some examples.

 
These are for the Eucalyptus Tree.

 
These are for the magnolia blossoms.

 
In the suitcase and background are fabrics for the puppy and in the right foreground for the tree/corral.

 
This selection is for the rock wall and all the vegetation around it.

 
And at the adjacent table are selections for heliconia flower/foliage.
