How exciting Sandi!! I look forward to your updates. Sort of a
virtual workshop for the rest of us.

I just returned home from my first day of a 4 day workshop with Ruth
McDowell. Wow!!! Last night she did a slide show and commentary. How
magnificent some of her works are. She has a great set of WebPages to be
viewed.

Today we were working from our photo enlargements and deciding between
curved or straight line piecing.

Our co-ordinators arranged to have our works enlarged to the size we wanted
the finished quilt to be by a graphic art firm. They will be ready for us
tomorrow morning!

I managed to get a copy of her Pieced Flowers book, it is now out of print.
I'm looking forward to the next 3 days. Hope to maybe have a bit of the
fabrics cut up and ready for sewing. I'm planning a 30" x 44" finished
size, although I may bump it up larger when I see it tomorrow. I'm working
on a gerbera daisy design, from a photo I took this year. She really likes
you to work from original photos, due to copyright issues.

Cheers,
