The Mad Scramble

It's a good thing to be madly filling orders for Quilt Market in Portland, Oregon and the CQA Show in Penticton, British Columbia! That means my Inksations Pattern Kit may be turning some heads. This is all so exciting! If you think being a pattern designer is all glamourous, check out the process for filling bottles with screen printing ink. It's all about getting your hands dirty!

I can't wait to participate big time in Quilt BC! I'll be taking my Quilt Judging Certification Programme (QJCP) class for 3 days while hosting a fellow student in my home and then 2 other exciting classes by Margie Davidson and Judy Farrow. 

My heart goes out to Libby Lehman and I wish her a speedy recovery. She was booked as the talented headliner for Quilt BC with the keynote lecture, the head judging role and teaching 3 days of classes until she suffered a brain aneurism and subsequent stroke last week. Everyone here at Brandy Lynn Designs wishes her all the best. And hats off to the CQA Board and the Quilt BC local committee for filling in the gaps with some stellar Canadian talent. 

Thermofax Fun

I've had so much fun with thermofax screens since the launch of my Inksations Table Runner Kit. With a thermofax machine and riso film you can literally draw anything your heart desires and make it into a printable screen. After teaching one of my Inksations classes one student suggested that I make a screen for the holidays which inspired the Holly Berries Screen.

Recently, I designed a new class featuring several fibre art techniques to teach at my local quilting guild (the Summerland Material Girls) in the New Year. Since I live in Wine Country I decided to go with the theme of grapes. Here's the first draft of that screen . . .

Both of these screens are available by contacting me through the Brandy Lynn Designs website. Just fill out the contact form and ask for the screen of your choice. I'm having so much fun with this . . . there are plenty more to come.
