The beginnings of a love affair
 

I have been wanting to learn collage quilting...while this is a bit different, I had the pleasure of taking Marjan Kluepfel’s Seascape class at MQX. What a fun project...I’ve still got quite a bit to do and once it is quilted, I will add embellishments like beads, yarn, etc...

Marjan is a fabric artist originally from the Netherlands and now resides in Davis, CA (close to my home town of Vacaville) which is where I’m headed on Tuesday. I am anxious to see more of her work at The Artery, a gallery located in Davis on my California visit. Her work is beautiful and she shared a lot of wonderful tips and ideas...she recycles everything. www.marjankluepfel.com

my unfinished project along with one of her amazing wall hangings.

Very Pretty. I would love to take a class like this.

Your collage is great! I am reading up on this process, and I hope to start one soon. Please post as you progress!

Wow! Beautiful colors, great fabric choices!

Beautiful work! That's something I want to try someday...

How beautiful!! Last my we watched a show about all the beautiful creatures in the sea. Animal planet or something like that.

Please continue showing your progress. It looks good now but I know when you finish it will look great like hers!

She truly does have a vision. Yours is turning out great.

Oh......so cool, jmoore!! Yours is turning out wonderful and bright... Love it!

Beautifully done! I’m anxious to see your embellishments, too. 👍

Really nice! I need to learn a new skill like that.

You are doing great so far.

Very beautiful and love all of the details. Please share a picture of yours when you finish. You have such a wonderful and beautiful start.

You're off to a great start! :)

You are off to a great start! I can see from Marjan's work why you were inspired to do this.

Wow! The richness of all the images transports me to the reef. Best wishes to you on learning more of this.:cool:
