SAQA Meeting and Painting Fabric

Life ...

At Great Grampa Grabers, these cousins wait for supper to be served.

 

... as a Quilter

I enjoyed a SAQA meeting today in Jackson. We showed our "H" Challenge pieces. Can you find an "H" in each piece of fiber art below?

 

 

Rhonda demonstrated how to use household latex paint to make beautiful fabric. She tore up a bed sheet and gave each of us a piece to paint.

There are lots of ways to make fabric: stamping, brushing, painting, screen printing, and finding all kinds of household objects to use for texture.

 

 

Martha made a beautiful path along the trees at sunset.

 

 

We learned lots of different techniques.

 

 

Drying our newly made fabric.

 

 

Those purple and yellow clouds are outstanding!

 

 

I especially liked the bubble wrap  with the orange paint.

 

 

Some more pretty fabric.

Now it will be interesting to see how this fabric will be used in a piece of art!
