Here are the lovely Hazel and Terri from InStitches in front of Hazel's City and Guilds final piece. These ladies were full of inspiration and encouragement and showed both their responses to challenges from the Quilters Guild Contemporary Quilt Group, of which they are both members. It's always fascinating to see different outcomes from the same starting point. I particularly liked seeing their journal quilts, made month by month for a year. Neither of them had managed to last beyond April! Sounds so familiar!
Here they are at the start of their workshop, setting off to inspire. I must admit, that hand embroidery isn't my preferred medium, but I thoroughly enjoyed having a dabble. Some people took squares for Linus, and here are the results of some of them.
I will join these up to make a pretty Linus quilt.
Here are people having fun choosing from the luscious threads and fabrics on offer. The day was another lovely one, and we look forward to seeing Hazel and Terri at the Festival of Quilts in August.
One small point about the sales tables. One member bought a dress pattern recently, and was disappointed to find that not all the pieces were in the packet when she started to cut it out. Please can you try and check items for sale are complete, or mark them as incomplete so any prospective buyer is warned. Thank you.
See you in July!
