Up North, Crossing Borders and Mermaids

Well Mrs. B and I decided on a border its a wonderful muted Batik with cream yellow and a little brown. Very lovely!

I went to Duluth, MN for the annual quilt show. I would have rather spent more time looking at Lake Superior than quilting...well maybe not. But this town never disappoints.

Some how I forgot to take pictures of some of my favorites but I hope they are represented here by their other works

Faye Hoch did a wonderful circular inspired hand dyed wonderment. It was neon green, red and blue and very well quilted. Above is one of her recent works.

I wonder who did this one?! Oh yea right, I remember.

Loved Tricia Spitzmueller's class about painting backgrounds and using foil, Tyvek and wonder under. I've done a lot of the techniques before, but I take classes to learn from other teachers and how they teach and of course she didn't disappoint. She's such a Kindred Spirit!

This barge was HUGE!

Cocktails at sunset.

Of course I hate to leave vacation but who can't resist coming home to this!
