2 Day Painted Portrait Workshop with Bonnie McCaffery,

nationally known quilt artist and designer.

Does the thought of painting a face on fabric sound much too intimidating for you to even attempt it?  You will find in this workshop that it is much easier than you imagined.  Paint the face Bonnie provides.  Everyone CAN do this.  Once you have painted your face, you will need to add hair, clothing and a background.  If there's time, add the borders too.  Kit Fee:  $25 includes flesh fabric, brushes, use of paint and handout.  For more information about Bonnie, go to: http://BonnieMcCaffery.com

Kaffe's Pickle Dish

Based on a traditional design, this vintage quilt takes on an entirely new meaning in the hands of Kaffe Fassett, but of course you can make it in any fabrics you crave!  The samples shown in the shop are made using a more controlled palette than the quilt shown in the book.  We have two samples of this fabulous quilt - you must come see!! Book purchase "Quilt Romance" by Kaffe Fassett recommended.  Warning!! Pickle cravings have been known to occur!
