Well what a wonderful day I had.
I've been to the Spring craft show at Kensington Olympia for the last few years and generally leave with mixed feelings. Not sure if it was the place I am now with my crafting and this blog or the fact that I was there with a very good friend or what it was, but, I had a thoroughly wonderful time there on Thursday.
I attended 2 workshops
1. Free Hand Machine embroidery - always been too scared to give this a go. I love it, totally hooked although I obviously need a lot more practice
2. Hexagon patchwork - using a paper piecing technique I haven't tried since school
I purchased fabric, kits and a new sewing machine so more to come on these soon. Machine arrives this week - excited :)

Glad you had a good day at the show; look forward to seeing a patchwork quilt top/cushion/coaster here soon... And I like your ripple blanket.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy stitching up your kit! .... if you can drag your self away from your new sewing machine! - How exciting!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job for a first time. Free-hand machine embroidery is very difficult to do. I look forward to seeing some work using your new machine.
