Burning fabrics

We had a wonderful time burning synthetic fabrics with  heat tools, heat gun, soldering iron and even a curling iron with the Adventurous Quilters on Saturday.

Another awesome fiberart entry from Art Prize 2010

The huge tree and 4 panels of the four seasons was made up of mini scraps, yarns and threads. It was very lacy looking and you could see right through it.

My favorite Fiberart Art Prize 2010

One of my favorite Fiberart at Art Prize 2010 is this one...I loved the textures!

Name mosaic table

My mom and I helped Lisa finish gluing glass and tiles on her mosaic foyer table. We still have to grout and seal it. Love the way it turned out!
