SSC Days 7 & 8 AND Viewers Choice

My last 2 days of conference were quit fun. We were do Sun Printing with Seta colors. I was with one of my classmate form last year, a very fun lady and we had a great time again this year.
On Saturday we did our sun printing and the weather was great, lots of sun shine ( we had a fair bit of rain all week with a chance of rain that day as well ) I was enjoying it sew much I had to go and get more fabric, sew I tried it out on a very nice and smooth muslin with a tight weave. It worked great, I will be doing this at home I am sure. I works best for items not getting washed all the time as it is surface design.
here are some pictures from both days

Thanks for a great class Jackie I had a blast

It was sew nice how we all learn little things about and from each other. I was sad to see the end of conference this year. But I know I will be busy for the whole year until the  conference comes again. If you are ever in the area you should check out the shop in Humboldt and get information. ( Haus of Stitches )

Jewels of the Night by me

I had mentioned earlier about the viewers choice in the 10 Anniversary Challenge Competition. The prize was a Elna 740 excellence machine. Sew yesterday at lunch they presented the winner with the machine. I am still kind of in shock. I now have a Elna 740 excellence machine in my home, waiting for me to play. Sorry I do not have a picture just yet the photographer will send me one shortly.
This was a quilt with many firsts, the first time I entered any type of competition, the first challenge piece , first time using the ruler I made the center out of , the first time using Electric Quilts 7, and sew on.

Made by Beverley Johnson( the fairy bra mother)

Beverley's quilt will be featured in A Needle Pulling Thread around Christmas, I may be featured later , nothing is definite just yet.
 I will now have to get back to my quilt for McCall's Quilt Design Star 2012, due for the 17 of June with Voting stating on the 19.
 I have found that I really enjoy the designing  and creating process and will do the best I can with this new challenge ( which  will be a little easier now that I am sewing in the house and not in the camper)
