Markmaking

    For our October meeting it was Helen Burke's turn to choose the activity. She suggested we experiment with the project presented on the cover of Quilting Arts, Aug/Sept issue, Sketch to Stitch using Inktense Pencils. 

    We each brought a small quilt sandwich made with light colored fabric, and stitched with a simple design using dark thread. 

    Helen brought her Inktense pencils for us to share. Kari and several other members also brought watercolor pencils, watercolors crayons, and other supplies to share. 

Results!

My quilt featuring General George Washington and Black Solders was one of the quilts in the Cincinnati news article.  Photos were being taken at the show but I had no idea my quilt was going to be in the article.  You can also see other quilts in the show. I am very proud to have been a part of this event of history portrayed in quilts.
