The Summer Holiday Wednesday Workshops have begun with a splash of colour and some experimenting with a lovely free technique that grew out of the Gees Bend Quilters tradition. I have long been fascinated by this method of stitching random shapes and colours and this was the theme for the first Wednesday Workshop.
and - as ever I am fascinated by how people interpret the same instructions and produce such different results
Take a look at the Anna Williams work - I can't get enough of it! I made a Flickr set some time ago if anyone wants to add their photos of similar work - I would love to see it. It is such a liberating way to sew!
Next week's Wednesday Workshop is felting, which is sold out, but you could join the waiting list for a re-run, or check out the other Workshops here for a bit of Summer Holiday Indulgence!
The Kids Workshops are booking up well too - still some places left for Books, Horses and Party Time - that one is going to be wicked!
Sunny here - my little shop at Allen Mill faces south and soaks up all this fabulous summer sun, it is very lovely!
so is this Owen just sent me
Hi, I just ended up here after finding your Anna Williams-inspired work on Flickr. Love her and love your quilt. I bet your Gee's Bend style workshops are a blast!
