August

This is my example for the latest Bargello workshop

Sharron started with this sample and apprently she is going to expand it to a larger piece.

Gill used these bright colours to produce this sample.

Betty managed to use some more of her scraps to produce this sample. Betty has been trying to use up her scraps but it is an a impossible task.

Bridget selected these materials and enthused to either expand this or make a large quilt based on bargello.

Vivienne managed to produce this despite missing one row. See if you can find it.

Gill has tried this bag for her sons partner and I am sure she will be making more.

Gill has made this lovely crazy quilt for her sons partner. It is made with brushed cotton and worked really well.

Willow my grand daughter now 1 year old. What a sweetie.

Jacky was going to make a small wall hanging but it ended up 4 times bigger. Well done.

Linda wanted to try foundation piecing and this dolls cot quilt is one of a pair.

Workshop examples for Pot Luck applique. Both bonded and hand turned applique was tried. Students results in 1 day finished results to follow in August or September.

Betty chose to position the large pot as 3 together.

Carole liked the slimmer vases and made this layout.

Vivienne selected 3 different vases and later added some flowers.

These were the hand turned applique to give the students an opportunity to find their preference.

Elsie made this bag for her grandaughter who is studying music.

This is the other side of Elsies bag.

Here is Gill's cot quilt using foundation pineapple blocks inspired by the workshop done earlier.

Sylvia has produced this sew a Row quilt from the book by Karin Hellaby. It is a good learning book for beginners instead of doing sampler quilts and well done sylvia it looks stunning.

Estelle has also done a Sew a row quilt and used a lot of her stash and worked really well.

Margaret has completed her French braid piece made during a previous workshop. This has lovely colours.

During my Wednesday morning class we did some stained glass pieces from Gail Lawther.

Lynne also did the same as Julie and made hers in red.

Jean made this fron Gail's book with these lovely beach huts. The border was made with material with pebbles on and so appropriate.

Well done Ineke with this Bargello travel bag. Stunning.

The last workshop was Quick crazy patchwork and this is one of the blocks from the project.

This is my Quick crazy patchwork sample which is the base of the workshop.

Margaret produced this on the day. I am impressed they managed so much in 6 hours it certainly was quick

Gill also managed to complete all blocks and add sashing and border using batiks. This really worked well.

Betty did not add sashing and used up more of her stash. this looked a lot better than expected by Betty.

Mary also finished this in 6 hours and used white as sahing and border which looks very fresh.

Mary is part of the Infinity group I run as well as a class member and she has made this amazing contemporary tree.

Betty has made this bag using a japanese folded method. The pieces were joined with zig zag stitch.
