My friend Jenny has graciously lent me this photo of her quilt created in my Color Chip Collage class at Quilt University in Ann Arbor a while back. In class you make several versions of fused collages like strip fusing (above), bias fusing, patterning, and even weaving. Then use the collages to create your own design of a still life, landscape, portrait, or abstract construction. I never know what students will come up with; my favorite kind of class. Thanks for sharing your work with us Jenny!

Irish Patchwork Society Visit
Soon you will find me in the lovely land of Ireland (see above)! I’m so happy to report I’ll be visiting with members of the Irish Patchwork Society for their show, Q is for Quilt, in Cork. Check out this blog at The Woolly Way of Ireland for more information.
The exhibition of quilts takes place at the Cork Institute of Technology in Bishopstown, Cork. The opening is on Saturday the 4th September at 5:00 and the exhibition will run for one week. I’ll be giving a talk (Art Quilts: the Musical) on Saturday afternoon (at 3:00) followed by the official opening. You’ll find me teaching the lovely Irish quilters on Sunday and Monday. Wish me luck!
