Workshop day with Anne Sommerlad

Seventeen quilters booked into our first workshop for the year, with teacher and designer Anne Sommerlad, on Saturday - five of Anne's designs were on the go between them!

Hishigata requires strip pieced diamonds, and a contrasting setting fabric.  these are early progress shots ...

Hanover Blues  involves some tiny pieces, so there is some further work to be done on these, with several borders to go ... 

Catherine Wheel was an opportunity to master foundation piecing. Some were completely new to it, others quite experienced ...

Indigo Op-Art was popular, using Japanese indigos as suggested in the pattern, or branching out with bright batiks ...

Asian Affair was an opportunity for some fussy cutting of a pretty teacup print ...

These quilts will possibly not be finished in time for this year's show, but we hope to see them finished well before the next one! We will have a small display of workshop quilts from the past two years in the April 2014 show.

Thank you Anne, for keeping all those balls in the air, and to Georgie for organising the day.
