Cindy Walter Painting Class

One of the classes that I took at the International Quilt Festival was Fabric Painting Master Class with Cindy Walter.  She has been teaching this class for years now and I found her to be an excellent teacher, patient and she taught most  everything in her book in the day long class.  She had us paint on white fabric and mine was white good quality muslin.

We painted on the cloth dry and we spritzed water on the fabric to dampen it and painted.

On the next two I used stamps and bubble wrap.

The next one I used salt and you can see it still has the salt on it.

Cindy was selling some of her items and this is the paint that we used

The Dyna-Flow I've been using so I am just showing you the package

These are the small brushes that Cindy uses and they are good brushes

This is Stabilized Fabric that you can paint on and then it has a peel off back

                                                       These are the inkjet sheets and I was able to get one package

The fabrics below were black polka dots on white fabric.  When I got home I painted them these colors.  I painted them so that there are light and darker areas.  I'm thinking about putting them in a small quilt. 

This gives you info on some of the things that you can do.  I know that Cindy is coming out with a new book in the fall.  If you have an opportunity to take a class and you are interested in painting on fabric then go for it.  There is sooo much to learn.  I'm going to paint on ugly fabric this week-end I hope and I'll show you what happens with that.  I'll make sure and take before and after photos.

This is Poky Bolton from Quilting Arts TV show with me on day 2

This is a look from the 3rd floor window of the floor about the time they opened the doors on Saturday Morning

Poky on Thursday evening for The Iron Competition

This quilt was about memories of growing up in the 50's and the more you looked the more items you found.  It was a stroll down memory lane for my friends and meI as well as a lot of others that were there.  This did win a first prize and it is an amazing quilt.  Too bad I'm not a great photographer!!

This quilt was another memory and the person that made it did not have a photo of her father so this is what she remembers.

Another memory quilt and it was very well done.  Another photo below.

 

Memories of going to the grandparents home

A sister and brother.  This was a wonderful quilt of the maker and her brother as children.  She was selling it and we were surprised at that as it seems like a family heirloom

Beautiful quilt, loved the fabrics and the photo below shows the binding

Art Quilt

I loved these houses and all the colors

I liked this quilt

This bird was amazing and the quilting was something else.  I kept looking and looking at what an amazing job she did on the quilting.  The colors and piecing were wonderful!!

The show had about 500 quilts but it was not as large as last year and there were not as many art quilts.  The crowd seemed lighter but I was down there at odd times since I took TWO classes.  I will do a whole post on the classes as I loved them both but the one was amazing!!!  I wish I could take classes more often.

We met a lot of people from Canada, Holland, and all over the US.  It's wonderful how friendly quilters are but then we have soooo much to share. 

A LOT of raw edge applique.

Back soon with more photos!!
