Here are a few little projects I will be teaching this week and in the coming months. The bear & bunny boxes are pincushions. Enjoy!
Hugs, Nancy

Holy cow, will you come east and teach those projects.  You can stay with me for free  bear_grin   They are beautiful and that bunny is the cutest thing ever.  Very nice projects- lucky students to have you as a teacher.   bear_thumb

Thank-you so much Vicki...I love pinchushions...I have been making various styles with dolls, etc., for a couple of years now.

Thank-you Tami...I teach at various places...this week, I will be teaching at a quilting store. A quilt the owner made is on the cover of a special interest mag. called Quilt Sampler...March issue...The store was chosen as one of the 20 best shops in the US/Canada. The store is Addies Quilt Shop.
I have also been asked to teach at "Wild Fibres" at Red Deer College, Alberta. That is a North American Conference in June...I am one of 31 teachers from US/Canada...the teachers are primarily weavers and spinners with a few extra fibre arts, such as felting thrown in to the mix. I don't know if you are familiar with Pat Sparks from Oregon...her work is amazing and she will be there...I am very excited to meet some of my collegues in the fibre world.

Thank-you so much Tammy...I would love to come to Nova Scotia. I have a wonderful cookbook from there when my sister visited several years ago. I decided I needed a new bunny in the house...I will be making another pincushion with a mohair bunny which I will put in the gallery. I am hoping to have a website completed here in the next couple of weeks.

Thank-you so much Wendy...I had a lot of fun doing the rabbit...

I really appreciate having friends on this forum...you are all so encouraging. I hope you all know that I admire your work, even if I don't get on long enough to reply to everyone. Thank-you again.

Hugs, Nancy

I just went off to have a look at Pat Spark's work. Then I realised that someone had the other year brought this artist to our attention.   Her work is just truely wonderful and awe inspiring. No wonder you are such a fan Nancy.

Hi Shelli:

Thank-you so much...it isn't the greatest pic...and the glue was still drying beneath her feet...the glitter looks better when it is dry...I had to rush her off to a store for a class I will be teaching in July...anyway...I just love prim...I have a couple of other cool projects I am working on for the conference in June....one in particular has a prim element...will post a pic when it is complete.

Congratulations to you and your association with Boyds...a huge committment. I wish you much success.

Thank-you again for the encouragement!
Hugs, Nancy bear_flower
