Patchwork, Tunisian Crochet, stacking Bowties Plus more



Yes its been quite a while since I have had the opportunity to catch up with my blog.  Also I struggle with the format of Blogger and once I have published my post, it moves my photographs around.  Sooooo frustrating.  Any tips would be appreciated.

My classes commenced end of April, starting patchwork for beginnrs at Wellington Sewing Center


Here are some of the quilt tops.


















I ran two Classes of Tunisian Crochet, introducing tactile stitches to crocheters at Wellington Sewing Center.
.


A Quilt as you Go class:





Louise and Prue showed off their completed Kaleidoscope quilts from Last years class.



Some of the ladies who attend my Wednesday night class made Stacking Bowtie cushions.








There are still more cushions under construction.  I do have another class for this technique coming up Sunday 5th August at Wellington Sewing Center.


We were lucky enough to test drive Sue Schreuder's E-Spinner made by Ashford.  It did look easy when Sue was using it.  Soooo on my "Want" list.


My Effort - lets just call this artistic!

And finally -an Overnight or Weekender bag class coming up.  Will fit in the aircraft "overhead" locker provided it does not wight more than 7kg.  Its fully lined with an internal pocket.

Thats all for now.  Thank you for taking the time to read my post.  Until next time,
Happy stitching
