I am currently making my way through the Quilting and Patchwork class that the Kemshall's offer as an on-line course and I am loving it. The classes are so well done and really lots of fun. I also subscribe to their DesignMatters TV and consider it very worthwhile as well. And in fact, the videos often dovetail quite nicely with the work that I am doing for the online class, how handy is that???!! They offer a couple of free 'tasters' that are worth checking out here:

So, here are a couple of pieces that I have been working on in the last while. I'm not really a hand-stitcher so I am enjoying the learning thereof! Yes, yes, I hear there is some kind of a holiday looming but I've been rather obsessed with getting this module finished. And I have!!! Yay!!
I am also having fun using my hand-dyed fabrics and threads. And the next module starts off with some more drawing so I am working away on that as well. But
that holiday, I have obligations around that too, so I have quite a bit to get done. I'd best get to it....
I'll be back...
Beautiful. Love the colours in the spiky one, and the textures too. You're so clever :)
ReplyDeleteTks, Jo. Lovely to hear from you...we must get together soon.
DeleteI hope that holiday is a merry one for you and that the new year is full of projects as lovely as these.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Dana. I have read through your blog and will most definitely be stopping by again! I wish you and yours a happy and healthy holiday, now and in all the months to follow.
DeleteEspecially love the spiky one too. You have been busy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret. And oh my gosh, it is good to be busy again!!!
DeleteBoth pieces are beautiful, Marny. I love the way the "spiky one" (I guess you're going to have to call it that now) creates a circle in the centre.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan. And thanks for stopping by. In fact, on the 'spiky one' I was going for an X and an O!! I am so happy to be back working with my fabrics again.
