“J” is for Juggler

Sunday, I had the privilege to take a Pam Holland  class. The workshop was held at Cotton Corner in Shipshewanna, IN.

It was a lovely day and an even better experience. Pam is an excellent instructor. Pam showed tons of her lovely thread painting quilts and what she calls ‘drappliqué’. Drappliqué is drawing and appliqué combined that is stitched over with thread.

Pam has a self-published book The Adventures of the Amazing Alphabet, which is a story she wrote for her grandchildren and also a quilt book sharing her drappliqué technique. Patterns included for each letter of the alphabet.

At the workshop, Pam provided a copy of her letters ‘A’ and ‘J’ for her students to use to work through her techniques. I selected the letter ‘J’.

My Mr. Juggler is not yet complete. I still have lots of thread stitching to do. But I was so excited about this project, I just had to show you, and encourage you to take a Pam Holland workshop if you can!

This week’s to-do list includes going to the Shipshewanna Quilt Show for a couple of days with some dear friends! Sewing might happen over the weekend.

I’m linking to Linky Tuesday and To-Do Tuesday.
