Liz and
Ruth were scheduled to teach a few Take n' Teach classes before Market started on Sunday and Monday mornings and so we all piled in the truck and left at o-dark-thirty to live the dream!

| A couple of Liz' samples for the Sunday morning class. |
Sunday morning's class was making embroidery pins with wool from
Valdani.
I had the privilege of being minion (aka tagalong) and photographer for the class.

| Ruth and Liz have written several books on hand stitching and run The Thread Lab in Colorado. |

They used some
great new fabric paints from Artistic Artifacts. I bought the complete set to bring home after using them in class. They have a nice long open time, meaning they won't dry too quickly on the gel plate, and they have a soft hand on the fabric! Two ideal attributes for fabric paint in my book!
Here is a brief video of
Judy demonstrating how to print with the wooden blocks, shot by
Christine.
I also had the opportunity to demonstrate some printing with stencils and such. I'm not sure what I'm thinking in this photo but the expression on my face is priceless!

| Once you start mono-printing you never look at trash the same way again! |
 |
| Ta-da! |
As I like to say - any day with paint on your hands is a good day!
