Ruth McDowell's class (#1) 04-02-08

In Ruth McDowell's "Designing from Nature" class at Empty Spools Seminars held at Asilomar, Pacific Grove, CA. Day 3-1/2

Wednesday is the day many students finish their final design drawing and start auditioning fabrics. The board on the right shows the original photo of Tracy Lee's Australian Shepherd, her design drawing and a few of the fabrics she is considering.
Jane Barnes is at the sewing machine, Kathy Shaker looking on.

Lynn Marquard's design is Foxglove Fairies - the foxglove flowers form the skirt of each fairy. So, her color palette is predominately pinks.

I imagine this board is just a muddle to most of you, but these fabrics are being auditioned for a pelican quilt.
Linda Lawrence is in the center of the photo, Patty Bergkamp has her back to the camera.

Although the Monterey pines are disappearing, the cypress seem to be unaffected by the borers.
