International Quilt Festival-Chicago

Posted from the Best Western O'Hare in Rosemont, IL:
I am staying here while vending at what is locally known as the Rosemont show. It will be moving to Cincinnati next year so it might be the last time I do this show.
Just wanted to let you know I will be giving tours of the Rust-Tex Collection at 2pm on Friday and Saturday and 1pm on Sunday. Hope you can join me!!!

No Rust Dyeing This Week!

On Thursday April 8 those of us who live in Madison, WI woke up to this!!! You can see I had already set up the Rust-Tex outdoor studio...sigh...I could not do any rust dyeing for many days. That was okay with me because I was VERY busy getting ready for International Quilt Festival in Chicago. Here is what my dining room looked like this year. PLUS the Rust-Tex Collection is premiering at that show. My studio assistant was very busy last week making all the roll-ups for the quilts. She spent all last week making them.
Way to go, Diane!!!Here is her completed work. Way cool!!!
I am doing walking tours of the Rust-Tex Collection at 2pm on Friday and Saturday and 1pm on Sunday. I hope you can join me!!! If not visit me in booth 1632 in the Make It University area. I will be doing an Open Studio on Thursday night 5-7.
