I have been asked by the Montana Art Educator's Association to teach a quilt workshop for their annual get together for Montana High School art students. This years' workshop is being hosted by Glacier High School here is Kalispell.
I've had a lot of muslin scraps just hanging out in the studio the last few years, so I thought I'd dye the scraps for the kids to use in the quilt workshop. It is spring break here this week so I've been in the studio with my helpers dyeing muslin.
