Howdy y'all :c)

I just found out this morning that Maria Elkins will be coming to do three seminars for our local quilter's guild in April! There are twenty openings for each session, and I've already signed up for all three and have put in to get off work for those two days. This will be my very first seminar. I'm so excited that I just HAD to share it with somebody!!! :c)

Donna

congrats on securing your spot. i'm sure you will have an excellent time.

That's fantastic--hope you have a wonderful time and learn lots.

How fun for you! Enjoy! And we expect a full report in April! LOL

Is she well-known? Not familiar with the name.

Hope you have a great time.

You will have fun, I'm sure.:)

That is exciting!

Maria Elkins does portrait quilts, and has appeared on the "Quilting Arts" TV show. I believe she has been spotlighted in their magazine too. The three classes she will be teaching while she's here will be "Fused Applique Portraits", "Color In Quiltmaking", and "Design and Composition". The first class will be on a Monday, the next two the following day, and then that night she will present a "trunk show" of her work at our monthly guild meeting. You can find more information about her by googling her name. :c)

Oh how exciting!!! :D:D

I bet it will be an amazing two days for you. Glad you got locked in already.

Good for you. :thumbup:

So happy for you, sounds like so much fun!

That's great.

Sounds exciting!

Awesome! Enjoy.

She's great. I tried her portrait technique with a picture of my daughter. It was intimidating at first, but really much easier than you think.

Your avatar is gorgeous.

That turned out wonderful! I'm planning on doing one of my daughter. I have a picture of her that is already in sepia tones that is my all-time favorite picture of her. :c)

Donna

Thank you! That was my very first quilt! :c)
