Richmond and Kew quilters organised a course at Janet Clare's studio. It was the "Quilted memories to cherish" course, but it included drawing with the sewing machine - free motion sewing to draw pictures
I was well out of my comfort zone but really enjoyed the day. These are my pictures:
I "may" have bought some of her fabric too! My plan is a quilt alternating the medium fabrics with the light fabrics - and some of the dark squares will be the pictures rather than just fabric
She was also selling some felt: So I had to buy some of that too!
On Friday I am teaching scrappy pennies and needed another sample, and on Monday I will be taking part in a Secret Santa swap at Richmond and Kew, so need to make something - for a while I was daunted by the work that I needed to put into both those events, until eventually it occurred to me that I could make a Secret Santa gift with scrappy pennies!!!
Do you remember the wraps we made a few years ago from Ikea fleeces? I am now making another one, decorated with scrappy pennies!!!
I hope whoever gets it likes it!
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.
