This is a very experienced group of quilters and they are very creative. Many of them have silk in their stashes that they are hesitant to use. Learning the tools to work with silk during this workshop should give them the courage to use that silk.
Another quilter was making silk leaves to sprinkle on the curvalicious background.
Laura was using Radiance (silk and cotton) that she hand dyed.
To me, the purpose of taking a workshop is to learn a new technique and experiment. Students sometimes think that they will upset a teacher by changing their technique, not exactly reproducing the project. That's not the purpose of my workshops. I find it so exciting when someone takes my technique, changes it and puts their spin on it.
