Lizzy House Class!

I really don't know where to start on the class and oh yes our family's week in Carefree, AZ that seems like months ago. I know one thing y'all will love fabric! Lizzy received Guising her Halloween line in the mail during our first day of class so we all got a peek. If you have been reading my blog for awhile you know I'm a freak for Halloween and am soooo excited to make something with this line. 
Lizzy House Guising Fabric!
I don't have any more photos for you from class, you think I would have at least one of Lizzy but I was so caught up in the class it didn't cross my mind. I think she looks just like her photos though cute in her skirts and her hair up.
 So what did I learn? A LOT I can make repeats now and we did block printing and screen printing on fabric so I have lots of fabric to sew with. What was really great about the class was all the advice and info Lizzy had for getting into the fabric design world it was a lot to process and she is so positive! I kept hearing Amanda (Ms McPorkchop) from our Sewing Summit class in my head saying "You can do it of course you can!", Amanda you've stuck with me even though your class wasn't related to fabric design. Now I have Lizzy saying "You can all design fabric you're amazing" maybe I'm embellishing with that amazing part but it's what I remember. It was also nice to meet and see what all the other students were coming up with. I miss that art school environment sometimes. The group had diverse backgrounds and goals and we had a lot of fun. 






This is it but I am just beginning! I also keep hearing in my head , do I have a problem?, Sponge Bob saying "I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready eddy eddy eddy eddy eddy!"
If you are interested in Fabric Design check out Lizzy's book How to Enter the World of Fabric Design: for the Quilting Industry and Kim's book from True Up A Field Guide to Fabric Design. Both are excellent! Also Lizzy will be in LA in May if you are in the area don't miss her.
