Weekend with Melissa Averinos

I'm What an awesome weekend I just had. Portland Modern Quilt Guild (PMQG )hosted the amazing Melissa Averinos. She gave a talk at the meeting on Thursday then has a Making Cat Faces class on Friday, followed by a two day Making Faces class. She has such an amazing story and her work is so inspiring. I was able to spend the whole weekend with her and am so glad I did.

Here is Melissa giving her talk at our guild meeting.

    These are the pieces made by the entire class.

And then on to Saturday and Sunday 

    These are Melissa's pieces before we start class.

    She taught us face drawing from the ground up.

    Starting with a basic circle. To turn that into some pretty amazing pieces.
