I'm teaching Cathedral windows, and variations, on Friday afteroon, and continuing on a Friday afternoon in March.
I thought I'd start with an easy variation, then move on to the real version!
I'm posting about it now so I then email all the bloggers I've used for inspiration and check that they are OK with my links! These links all take you to a tutorial, not mine, but I have used them and they all seem well written
For a really simple idea which looks similar to a CW block but is much quicker, Ozzypip cut circles of denim, stitched together, folded and top stitched
From Sue comes another easy method: This looks similar to above, but no raw edges and each unit is made individually, then can be stitched to others. Gather, press, fold, stitch
From Christina, at A Few Scraps we start using the bias roll method - this is a fairly simple block, with a whole load of variations. Just fold, press, stitch, roll back and stitch
And then finally, I guess by March I will teach the real thing! I've found lots of versions on the web, but I'll be using a combination of these three: Press down the edges and hand sew, press down the edges and machine sew, or just machine sew
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
