I had planned to blog last week but time got away from me again - well really i was enjoying having the house to myself for a week and watching lots and lots of doctor who!
Anyway,
Me and my Mum went to the festival of quilts. It was mums first trip and she was wow'd by the quilts.
We also did a workshop - It was a book cover - run by Christine Porter (www.quiltingtheworld.com)
I struggled with the foot - it was lowered by a button not a lever - most confusing!

I went to this as well (although tbh mostly for fabric shopping purposes) and was impressed by the quilts on display - that PacMan one was amazing. I don't know how to quilt so we didn't do any of the tutorials, but it was great for fabric and now I have so many more dresses to make!
ReplyDeleteI love the use of fancy stitches and variegate thread - I'll have to file that idea away for future. I enjoy doing workshops to try out different machines. I have a Husqvarna without a foot lever, but mine drops the foot when I press the pedal. A great feature, but you soon get used to it and makes it difficult to switch back to other machines without creating at least one bird's nest of thread.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up with you! THAT is lovely! Would like to try.....how is it done!? Will catch up properly when feeling better, chat soon x
