Learning this technique...
From this amazing woman...
The lovely and superbly talented Kellie from Don't Look Now!
Organised by this amazing woman...
The lovely Supermummy Corrie from Retromummy.
And was thoroughly entertained over the weekend by these crafty gals Chaletgirl and Duyvken. (thank you ladies...for your help and inspiration)
Here is a few samples of what I produced...
Practising my free motion swirls...
Practising free motion flowers...
My "Wish You Were Here" pillow top...
I didn't get to start my quiting as I was a bit slow. Pretty good for a 1st time quilter I think! I'm giving myself a break on this - some people in the group have been quilting for 10+ years!
Thank you so much to Corrie for organising such a great weekend workshop! Can't wait for the next one!
More pics and info in the coming days.
oh cath I look terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my take that picture down................in my defence the scales do say I've gained 14 kilos!
ReplyDeleteok back to the quilting, thank you so much for your help setting up and packing down and being an extra pair of hands. It was just an amazing weekend and I'm so glad you could make it! every single person there made it a special day and we'll all know how fabulous it was!
I'm asking kellie to squeeze me in twice next year and can't wait to do it all over again - once I've had a good rest of course! I felt like I had a serious hangover!
so glad you had fun and thanks for coming :)
You lucky duck! One day I want to take one of Kellie's workshop as I'm a big fan of her work and designs. You did very well; your tree looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo great to meet you Cath!! Am dyeing may hair tonight in response to the photos from the weekend :-) Your pillow looks great! Will you be doing the flowers or swirls?
ReplyDeleteHi Cath - I found your blog - I love it and look forward to reading more. Was lovely to meet you and I think your cushion looks great - can't wait to see the finished product. Take care and good luck with the Visa Caroline
ReplyDeleteIt was a great workshop and it was nice to meet you and the other lovely ladies. I love how your flowers look, I never got that far but I'm being really good at getting that practice in.
ReplyDeleteI tagged you for a meme.
ReplyDeleteDon't hate me! LOL
