wow, it’s been a long time since I remembered to do a show and tell post… but thankfully Candy’s photo was emailed to emailed to me this morning to remind me..

After market in Pittsburgh Jo and I spent a lovely week with Lisa, her family and her Quilt Foundry shop girls in Maumee Ohio.. 2014-05-21 11.41.13

I got to visit ‘Checker’ the worlds biggest Distributor warehouse I think and meet many wonderful new stitchers and friends.2014-05-22 14.47.192014-05-22 15.06.16

We held a trunk show and two days of classes.

2014-05-22 13.44.16The first day we learnt my iron on hexie technique and emrboidery 2014-05-23 16.07.37

and then the second day of classes covered my gluestick applique technique – new to most of the girls who attended. And for a first try they all got great results…

This is Candy’s finished table runner which she sent through to show me… perfect curves and perfect applique for a first attempt.. table runner applique

This pattern is in the new book Simply Applique. It was great to see all of the different colourways they chose..2014-05-23 16.09.36

thanks for a great couple of days girls, hopefully I'll be back someday and you’ll have lots more show and tell to send me..

hugs for today
