A lovely busy day in my classroom. You won't believe the subjects that are covered during a day, it's very educational and highly amusing. You can't beat a good giggle to lift your spirits can you.
I'll bet it's happened to you too.You have sooooo much to do but can't decide where to start? So you make coffee and look on t'Interweb! Crazy? One click leads to another and, before you know it, an hour has passed and you've added 6 more projects to your list that's already reaaaaaallly long enough and that's what got you down the rabbit hole in the first place, ha!
I see an interesting design and try to figure out how it was done. Then, I purchase the quilt pattern PDF to see whether I was right. I think it's only fair to purchase the pattern, even though I could make it without as the designer deserves all credit. But, for this Rabbit Hole Quilt, the designer used a completely different method which was interesting, She, Erica, didn't call it a Rabbit Hole Quilt though, I did that all by my very own self! Link to The Libby Quilt.
A couple of years ago I made a Scandinavian Tomte Quilt. I wrote a blog post about it, My first Tomte Quilt if you click the link, it should get you to the blog-post about it. Ever since I gifted the quilt I had wanted to make another, for my very own self! I do that you know, ha!
It's been a funny old week or two in my shop and classroom. There's been a lot going on. Lots of help given in my classroom with new projects and fudgery (not saying any more about quilty fudge, just know it is a very popular quilt production method often linked to PMS (pleasing my self)!)
I've had a lot of new fabrics arriving and a holy moly amount of wadding came too, goodness knows where I will put it all, again. You will think I've lost the wadding plot if you pop in, ha!
We're already taking bookings for our next Sewing Retreat at Hillscourt Hotel in the Lickey Hills. Should you be interested to book yourself a place.
I hope you've all enjoyed the long weekend and found a little stitching time? I suspect the sunshine had you mostly out in the garden, though that didn't last very long did it.
My classroom was super busy last week, little time for taking pictures. It's so lovely to see the ladies improving their skills. A few new sewing machines have been ordered and lots of fabric has been purchased, surely that's a recipe for success!
