Job Satisfaction !!!!!
Hi everyone,
It’s an under statement to say I love my job. A shop filled with fabric and yarns is bliss, a Sewing Studio that is an inspirational room, light, airy and full of laughter. But the pinnacle part of my job is sharing passion of creating with others in our workshops and seeing what they go on to do at home. And this is my starting point on this weeks blog.
My Mum joined our April’s 3 part quilting course as a complete beginner (as were the other ladies). She made a beautiful lap quilt using the rail fence design…..And then produced this gorgeous around the world quilt at home.
I’ve created a quilt addict x
The quilting courses are extremely popular and within days of advertising June’s course the places had been snapped up. Bearing this in mind I I’m considering running day long quilting workshops if the demand is there. I have no confirmed dates as yet but if you are interested in joining us please email me with your details – [contact-form-7 404 "Not Found"]
Overwhelmed by how quick its sold out!
The May 3 part course kicked off on Tuesday. My four ladies are on their way to making a lap quilt using the disappearing nine patch design.
Part One – Learning about equipment, choosing fabrics, seam allowances, piecing blocks.
Part one complete….
And my little stitchers have been at it again….
So our Sue took over the Sewing Bee with her needles, hooks and yarn and introduced them to knitting & crochet. Now this isn’t my forte so I was eager to join in…… Kids were a lot better than me :)
