More Photo Booths!

-
We attended another wedding reception with a photobooth - can I just tell you how excited I am every time I see one? My husband just wanted to visit with people so he missed out on the fun.
I think my favorite photo is where E and I are staring at each other and A is pointing at us.
I have a couple photos from the wedding reception which were sent to me by one of the Bridesmaids but I wish I had photos of everything there.
There were games on every table for the guests to look at or better yet to play with.
You can barely see in the background the "booths" with popcorn, snowcones, cotton candy and really good soft serve ice cream.

My girls decided that this was "The Best Reception EVER!"
One of the things I loved were some movie posters on the wall.
A cousin helped to make the posters.  The Bride and Groom were featured in each mock movie poster and you can tell that they had a great time posing for the photos.  I think my favorite was their version of "Twilight" which they called "Dusk."

Now that looks like a fun wedding and the pointing/looking photo made me giggle. I love photo booths too.

What a fun reception! I love the mock movie poster idea, too! East coast receptions are stay-whole-time-parties, culturally very different from Utah. Some of these ideas would work well--love the games on table idea...

Gelli Plate Tutorial with Leaves

-
Image
Here's the Gelli Plate Tutorial you asked for! My Gelli plate has been well used and well loved. 1. Place Gelli Plate on a flat, covered working surface, and place small dots of paint onto the plate.  My demo photos are with me using acrylics and paper but it works exactly the same with fabric paint and fabric.  I like using Jacquard Textile paint when I make fabric prints. 2. Use a brayer to spread the paint evenly across the plate. 3.  I used the leaves as a resist for the first print. 4. Place the paper/fabric on top of the printing plate and smooth it out nicely to get an even print. 5.  Carefully lift up the paper/fabric. Found a photo from when I printed the fabric - see same process. This is a first print. 5.  I know that MONOprinting means ONE print but seriously, when you remove the leaves from the plate there are these beautifully textured leaves left on the plate just dying to be printed.  I couldn't ignore them!  So this is wher

Autumn is for the Birds

I was thrilled when my friend Jamie Fingal ask me to create something using her new fabric line, Autumn is for the Birds, from Hoffman Fabrics. I decided to use my favorite method of creating: free form piecing.  When I create a quilt with this method I rarely plan anything out, other than perhaps a general size and a few elements.  The problem with this method is that I often have to rearrange as I go.  And sometimes I need to unpick - a LOT.  I took a few photos as I went to help me get an idea of where things were going and then based upon those photos I added or changed.  I put the photos together in a short power point so that you could see a little bit of my process.  I apologize for the dark photos as my design wall is in a dark hallway but I think it still gives you a good idea of how things went. The final quilt is approximately 30"x 37". I love the focus fabrics!  There are a lot of textures in all of the fabrics.  Honestly, I could have quilted
