Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival was quite the adventure this year! We drove through light snow all the way to Virginia, and made it to Hampton just as it was starting to get pretty rough, the road in had almost turned into a parking lot. I was so thankful that we were staying at the Embassy and could walk over to the show every day, driving in snow is not for this Southern girl! We even got a room on the "preferred level" of the 10th floor, which seemed to mean we got a Keurig coffeemaker, I didn't see anything else that was different, but hey, works for me.
Anyway, we set up Wednesday with a mess on the ground but at least nothing was falling out of the sky. Not so much on Thursday, it snowed much of the morning...but my felting girls in my vessel class braved the snow and came on out anyway, we were only missing 1 or 2 students! (This is why we're the renegade class lol.) And they made the most awesome vessels! Each one was unique and special in color, shape and design, just as each student was so unique, they were all fabulous and fun, we had a great time.
Love the green and purple fibers this very talented student chose, gorgeous!
My fave colors, very soothing shades of teal and green with pops of purple.
This great vessel is reminiscent of a globe, what an art piece!
This truly reminded me of a ceramic or stone vessel, love the gray and acid yellow palette she chose, and the plum bamboo fibers were the perfect accent...she also lined it with the yellow!
This clever gal made a nice big vessel with a frothy rim to serve as a candy bowl at work.
Love the happy colors and asymmetrical shape of this one!
Beautiful tones of blues and purples with shots of fuchsia.
Soft hues of lavender and pink molded into an oval vessel, what a beautiful creation by a first-time felter!
Everyone loved this turquoise vessel with lots of pops of color, a bit like an aquarium! All the vessels are still wet in these pics, so I know how gorgeous they must have been when they dried and the beautiful colors and luster of the bamboo and silk came out. The girls did a fantastic job!
