I went to
the Sue Daley workshop at the Quilters Palet in The Hague. It was my third Sue
Daley workshop there in as many years and as always Sue, Evy and Petra had
everything ready and waiting for us, fabrics, thread, templates, patterns, the
only thing we needed to bring were a pair sharp pointed scissors and ourselves!
Here are Sue’s
things and the examples, we were going to make the appliqued basket on the
needle case during the workshop, the pattern and materials (including one of
Sue’s applique needles) we could take home with us to finish the whole needle
case.
With a room
full of quilters Sue still managed some one on one instruction, for her
and for me
Oh, those glasses! Showing my age now, recently
I got a second pair of glasses made, I now use one pair for reading and for patchwork
and the new pair for applique. Still have to figure out which one I’ll use for
hand quilting…
Like before
Sue brought over a suitcase full of quilts to show us, just a few examples:-
The quilt
that is on the cover of her new book:
A medallion quilt made from Petra Prins’fabrics:
Another
medallion quilt, loved the eggshell patterns in there (I think Evy just can’t
get enough of these quilts ….!) :-
This I
loved, two very different quilts from the same pattern!
Of course,
some shopping had to be done, so many fabrics to choose from, I was among the
last to leave the shop, sorry for the blurry picture, my arm was a bit heavy from
the fabrics I bought , I think…….
Thanks again
ladies, for a very enjoyable morning!
