Camera Overload

Rorary cutter...check.  Mat...check.  Fabric...check...engines full steam ahead...

 

Brenda Smith visited on Saturday for the third in a series of her workshops.  The usual suspects turned up and out with some super fun work... 

This was the result of Bronwyn's last class with Brenda and proves that it is hip to be squarish.  

 Looking over Moira's shoulder is always fun. Kate dipped into the French General for her project 

Kate also brought in her finished top from the first workshop using the freehand curve method.  Brenda's class has been great fun so we will be scheduling more dates for next year and looking forward to it!  Never one to stagnate, she has been working on new samples for workshops to inspire...

See what I mean! 

These freeform techniques are taking off all over the place. One lesson from Jean Wells Intuitive Design and look what happened in the Monday workshop!! 

 Massive achievements all around.  We tried another technique from the book this week.  It is all about letting go of expectations and then possibly finding them again but I have to say we are having some kind of fun here!

 

How about these works of art?  Jane has been coming into MO for ages and in an unassuming, quiet way showing us her textile work.  Here we have a teaser sample of some of her work which she will have for sale on SWAP Day, 5th December.  There are a variety of techniques used to create these little beauties...make sure you have a look at them.

 

There's something peaceful (pieceful...ha ha...dad joke!) about them with the soft images and lots of stitches.

 

Here's something fun...Kim is making these for Christmas placemats!  She started sewing them up last night.  What a great idea!  Can't wait to see them finished.

 

Speaking of wedges...Sheena finished this sssstunner last week.  Shot cotton, wedges and ric rac...it is the combination of all the things we have 

loved in 2009!!!!

Gotta dash.  dog and boy waiting to go to the station. By the way, lessons in laundry were the mode of operation on Sunday!  thanks, I got the message....kathy

As usual, an overwhelming amount of quilty goodness! My two favorites are the small quilt Kate is holding up and Sheena's wedge quilt. Amazing and inspiring!
