It's so hard to fathom that it's almost time to leave. I have barely scratched the surface of the visual delights and learning (and shopping!) opportunities here at the INTERNATIONAL QUILT FESTIVAL in Cincinnati. Truly an inspiring experience. I got a hug from Pat Sloan and she has wonderful pics posted on her blog, so check that out!
This week I learned to dye silk with Marlene Glickman and cotton dyeing in the microwave with Diane Ricks. I also learned how to use the digital imaging features of EQ7, which is too much fun! Mary Ellen Krantz is very knowledgeable about computers (she's a quilting computer geek - first generation!) and is very generous with her information. She also has a sweet personality and a great sense of humor!
this is what I learned from Mary Ellen:
This was all done in EQ7 - no other software involved. I can do it from my own pictures, too! Check back to see more EQ7 goodies in a few days.
I must admit the City of Cincinnati threw us a wonderful party on Friday evening. Generously portioned adult beverages and delicious edibles - also in generous portions - so they obviously want us to come back next year! They had a live band "AFTER MIDNIGHT" playing lively dance music for us - the kind I knew all the words to! ...and in case you've ever wondered.... Pokey Bolton can really get down!!! That gal has more bounce that a superball!
We'll be driving home with lots of great memories later this afternoon.
I'll post a few pics when I get home, but they never do the quilts justice anyway, so don't get your expectations up too high!
Hugs 4 now!
