Cincinnati IQF Fun

Just got back from Cincinnati International Quilt Festival! So much to see and do with shows and vendors. My mom went with me and we had some great food and wine too. My classes were great with some great students who did some variations on my patterns that I wouldn't even have thought of. That's one of the great things about teaching. Students help us think outside of our own box. I was also lucky to have been demo-ing at the Misty Fuse booth with Iris Karp! It's such hard work to be bent over a table for hours and repeat the description over and over. Misty Fuse is my fusible web of choice. You can see more about it at http://www.mistyfuse.com/. It's very light weight and allows me to use many layers of fabrics. Unfortunately I didn't get to shop much while there!

This is my new pattern created from a photo by a friend who was traveling to the Arctic Circle to take photos of birds. It's pretty small and a simpler pattern to create. You can see it on my website at www.lenorecrawford.com patterns page. My other patterns are also listed there. I have been listing my work for sale on the Etsy website. If you would like to see some of my pieces available, they are listed on Etsy at www.etsy.com/shop/lenorehcrawford2461.
