NOVEMBER 17, 2008 - Program - "Magical Manipulations with the Muslin
Mistress" with Jennie Rayment from England. This skinnyish, red-haired, slightly
wacky Brit is totally obsessed with 'Nipping and Tucking' fabric manipulation and
surface texture. Unique in her field, she's now internationally known for her quick,
simple, innovative and original techniques with manipulated material and her
hilarious lectures. This one is NOT to be missed. Also, enjoy her workshops! You
can visit Jennie's website at www.jennierayment.com
NOVEMBER - Workshops -
"Cosmic Happening" with Jennie Rayment
Take one large square and one large circle and Jennie's specially simple

piece - just straight seams. Manipulate, embellish, and embroider, add some
decorative machine quilting to complete an 18/20" bordered panel. (Pattern
