We had a wonderful presentation from Melinda Bula the end of April, and here are some of the photos. From left, some of the sunflowers from Saturday's class; middle, our beloved Ms. Muller upon learning that the coneflowers from Sunday's class weren't designed to be a bra; right, the darling Ms. Mack observing said bra representation.

Here's gorgeous Gayle modeling one of Melinda's sumptuous wearable art pieces; darling Donna modeling a top, skirt and jacket designed and made by Melinda; debonair Deb with another colorful coat; and natty Nancy modeling a garment while Melinda described her inspiration for the piece.  

Next, some of Melinda's botanical art quilts: greenery, Oriental poppies, hollyhocks, and the "yellow house bruhaha" (she says to google this to learn more about the story).

And finally, some of her more "traditional" quilts: moored sailboats she saw and photographed on vacation; a hand-quilted flower and basket quilt; and another fabulous flower quilt (there's Linda Graeber doing a wonderful job of holding all these quilts up). Thanks, Melinda Bula for sharing your quilting genius and enthusiasm with us!
