Next week I head of on my first teaching adventure of the year..

Actually it combines a trip to home – (my home town and parents) as I didn't make it over the holiday season, but whilst there I offered to run some classes… who will I see from my childhood? It may feel a little strange to me, I'm sure this is not where they expected me to end up in life… me neither…

Anyway, I know a lot of you are wanting to see more of what we will be making so here goes….

 

Date:  Wed 18th - Sat 21st February 2015

Venue:the Habit Patch Church St Penola

Time: 10am - 4pm

Wednesday: Colourque & EPP Hexies

Project: Belconnen Beauty - a small wallhanging or larger quilt centre panel. You will learn step by step the art of Colourque (coloured pencils on fabric to give an applique effect) plus our great iron on English paper pieced hexies.

Thursday: Applique the Hugs ‘n Kisses way (hand or machine)  Morning tea  and pattern notes included.

Birds of a Feather - small wallhanging or quilt panel using my simple gluestick applique technique. This project is more suited to the hand method with smaller pieces for this class. I will demonstrate the machine method during the day so you can choose your preferred method at home and for future projects.
