Work from Sue Benner class at Empty Spools 04-13-16

Seems like a long day and, no surprise, I am exhausted tonight.  I did have a massage from the wonderful Heidi - so relaxing.   And I started my "big" project which is 17" x 24"!   So, I have some rocks and some trees - I'll see what they look like with fresh eyes in the morning.  Here are the three small projects by Janet Taillon.  These have no stitching, which is necessary to show details.

One of the problems of working in class is there is a limit to the access one has to fabric.  Selecting from what is available in one's own boxes/bags/suitcases/etc. can be an exercise in complete frustration.  Fortunately in this class everyone seems willing to share, so if one needs that certain color someone else might have it available.  There are also two stores - Back Porch in downtown Pacific Grove and Cotton Patch which is set up in the back of the auditorium in Merrill Hall.  But buying more fabric can become an expensive proposition. We mostly make do with what we have.

Making do with what's available or purchasing new at $12 - $15 per yard...makes very good sense to me to make do, or sharing fabrics...perfection! Nice way to meet other quilters. Janet's starts are lovely....
