She began her visit to PEI, Thursday evening with a Trunkshow. Cheryl kept us entertained with stories of her adventures and experiences from her quilting journey. I appreciated her fresh approach to improv quilting and her advice on taking advantage of the small moments of time in one's life to be creative. Here are a couple of my favourite quilts from the evening...
The Trunkshow was fantastic, and I encourage anyone who has the chance to attend one of Cheryl's shows, to do so.
On Friday, Cheryl taught her "Values Plus" workshop. Members were asked to sort their scrap fabrics into 3 piles: Lights , mediums, and darks. With the help of our cell phones and the grey-scale feature of our cameras, it was much easier to see the difference in values.
Here are some photos taken throughout the day...
Here is a shot of my blocks in grey scale,
and in color....
Cheryl's last day in PEI, was spent teaching her "Make Words, Not War" workshop. After Cheryl showed us different examples of Improv letters, we were encouraged to play and have fun. The group was very creative, there was so much variety.
Here are some photos from earlier in the day..
