Painting a Landscape with Fabric

Everyone in Gloria Loughman's workshop are progressing fabulously with their landscapes.

This is a piece by Tina McHenry.

Carol Newhart is working on this piece with the brilliant Fall colors.

You'll have to turn your head to view the landscape by Priscilla Kibbee! Debbie Quarrington is actually piecing all of those diamonds of fabric for the background of her landscape. Wow.

Gloria brought paints and yummy Rainbow threads by Superior Threads. I noticed quite a few colors that I must add to my collection -- actually I'd like them all!

I just love this imaginative piece by Bonnie Pennybacker.

Nancy Trowbridge is using thread-sketching to create birch tree trunks for her landscape. They turned out beautiful.

Gloria constantly circulated through the classroom offering guidance where ever it was needed or requested.

All the tools a fiber artist needs - pencils and pens for drawing and planning, scissors, thread, several caffeinated beverages, and a chocolate chip cookie - fresh from the oven.
