Avril (above) has a theatre background just like me!  She has been a frequent student of mine at The City Quilter and I was delighted to see her in class!  She told me that she's signing up for the next session of The Journal Quilt class, and I'm looking forward to that!

Rosann

We got our hands dirty and had a wonderful time making a mess!  I've got some new classes lined up for 2011 and I think they're going to be awesome!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I have a monthly art quilt class (you dont need to know how to sew) that meets Fridays from 12-2.  Most of the workshops are on Saturdays and Sundays, though.  Sorry!

  • what are the spray bottles in one of your pictures? they look like something fun.
    I took one of your classes at Create in August, and painted the only portrait I have ever felt good about! Thanks for the formula for a “pleasing face”. Enjoyed it!
