Long Beach Quilt Festival 2011

Even though I'm busy teaching classes (and shopping, and looking at the art quilt exhibitions) at the Long Beach Quilt Festival, I manage to find time to hang with my peeps. This photo is from Cloth Paper Scissors/Make it University's annual Saturday evening event entitled "Surviviving the Runway." It was a royal wedding/hat theme.

The Make it University sessions are only 1 hour (checkin my watch above!) and take place in the middle of the convention center exhibition floor. Crazy but fun!

I'm at Art Unraveled, in Phoenix, right now and returning August 7. If you're nearby, stop by the Shopping Extravaganza on August 6.

    Hi Jane,
    Your quilt is gorgeous. Wish I could have seen it in person. Looks like the show was lots of fun.
