Quilt as you go - Nancys Stitch Studio

Yesterday was day two of my QAYG workshop.  It was a chance for me to tweak it before I teach this the NZ Quilt Symposium next year.

Here is my class sampler.

Here are some of the photographs of completed quilts from my previous workshops.

Photographs from yesterdays workshop.



When laying out your quilt blocks use the camera on your mobile phone (you always have it on you) to view your blocks.  Below Lisa has tried out three different layouts.  This helped her to decide if she needs to make more blocks, which colour way and how big to make her quilt.

Great students, venue and lovely fabric choices.  Bit of a worry when I covert my students fabrics!

I look forward to seeing these quilts completed and will share these with you at a later date.
Happy stitching

Taupo Quiltmakers Exhibition

For my oversea's readers, Taupo (Town) is in the centre of the North Island of New Zealand.  Taupo Quiltmakers held their bia-annual exhibition at the beginning of this month.  It was a great honour to be invited as guest exhibitor, to judge their challenge and to speak at their club evening. 

Here are a few of my photos from their exhibition.  I was impressed with the amount of hand quilting and hand applique work.

The applique and quilting on this quilt was beautiful.
