If It's Summer, It's Quilt Camp Time!
It's been 3 years since our last quilt camp!  For those of you new to this newsletter, quilt camp consists of playtime for Sue and Elizabeth at Elizabeth's summer house on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.  We dye fabric, work on screen designs, and try whatever other creative techniques capture our interest.  Due to the pandemic and Sue's mother passing away, we've had to skip a few summers, but have determined that this is our 10th Quilt Camp!  We are in the midst of about 10 days of creativity.  You can learn more about what we are doing on our blog where we have been doing daily posts.  Below Molly the mannequin models an ice dyed t-shirt that was screen printed using color magnet which attracts more dye.  On the right are some examples of rust dyeing and shibori pieces dyed in an indigo pot.

Now for some updates in the Etsy shop.  We have added 3 new screens.  Birch bark is 7.5 x 10 inches (large screen), Cat tails is 6 x 9 inches (large screen) and Becky's Ginkgo is 6 x 6 inches (medium screen). Check out photos of prints of all three in the shop. Look for fall and holiday images to be listed in the shop again soon.

To introduce these new screens we are offering a September discount of 10% on everything in the shop from now through the end of September.  Use the code SEPT2021 at checkout, or shop using this link. Feel free to share this code with any friends who may be interested
