Getting organised - holidays are over!

As the winter school holidays draw to a close  I'm planning my next term of activities & jobs that need doing.

This term I'll be offering two one day workshops at Calico & Ivy Balmain and the focus will be on Zig Zag Quilts!

Thursday 18th August 10am - 2pm

Thursday 1st Sept 10am - 2pm

Give Calico & Ivy a call to book in.

I'll also be teaching a beginners quilting course at Hobby Sew Top Ryde thursday evenings and Friday mornings.

If your unable to get to any of the classes, I'm starting a Lone Star quilt along soonish. I have started a flickr group for people to join and expect to be up and running with info in the next week.

Did I mention I'm going to London, Paris & Rome in October this year? 

any major Quilting things/ places info would be much appreciated or if you have a shop that would like a workshop/ class give me a bell.

More on that trip later

The class list etc will be emailed out to everyone on the email list later this week, so sign up if your not already on the email list - not many places in the classes so you will need to be quick sticks or you'll miss out.

I picked up some lovely Liberty of London fabric today from Calico & Ivy Balmain. I'm starting to do my examples for the class and I will be using the Liberty Fabric. 

Below are the Quilts we will be working on,The class is still being nutted out a bit - but I want to encourage Improv Quilting using simple shapes and also looking at structure and colour  technique in the log cabin.

Be Square Quilt - Log Cabin

These quilts suit both beginner and Advance students. The possibilities are endless.
