Kirsty from Bonjour Quilts took the photo above of myself, Camille and Cat with the first two blocks we made. Cat was the only person at the workshop who I had met before as she is also from the town where I now live.
This was the first block I made - a mix of Marmalade and Scrumptious dots. Camille showed us a very clever way of piecing the blocks together which made sewing them together so much quicker!!
I borrowed this group photo from the The Quilters and Embroiderers Store facebook page - there was quite a big group of ladies at the workshop and we all made at least one block. A couple of ladies made 4 blocks on the day!!!
These were the 40 blocks made by the 28 people on the day - they all looked amazing.

Knowing how good my class was with Camille I can see yours was the same. That chaining technique is great isn't it? Your blocks look great. I am using some pastel solids. I feel so very lucky to have had the chance to do a class with her. Now all I need to do is keep up the momentum and get the top done. have you made anymore blocks?
ReplyDeleteLovely to see more photos - including photos with you not them Kirsten. Seems to have been well worth the effort to attend.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had such a fab day! And everyone was so productive!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those blocks are huge! Glad you all had fun anyway :o)
