Travel through India----fabric tour.....

Post by MastiffMomQlt » Wed Sep 10, 2008 4:12 pm

I went to the travel through India fabric tour lecture & slide show this evening at a lqs. It was very cool. The couple who did this presentation did a 5 week tour & took thousands of pics. We watched a slide show & were able to see some of the fabric they brought back.

There were beautiful silk fabrics:

As well as a quilt made with Indian fabrics from a book by Beth Ann Williams from her Bargello book:

As well as an Indian inspired wall hanging done in silk. This is the couple who did the tour/class & made this w/h:

It was very interesting & very cool. I'm glad my friend *made me* go with her ;)

I hope you enjoy
