April Workshop
Our first workshop of the year was with Carol Munro, a highly respected teacher of appliqué and machine quilting who has exhibited her colourful creations internationally. She had two scrappy quilt inspired wall hanging designs for members to try "Maisie"- a highland cow design, and "Autumn Leaves" - a patchwork background with tree appliqués . Carol provided everyone with design packs with very clear and comprehensive instructions. Members could also purchase pre-treated fabric packs (a real time saver) if they did not want to do any stash busting. Most members got their designs planned during the session although I don't anybody had time to actually put their foot to the pedal. Looking at comments on the group Facebook page I can see that many participants couldn't wait to get home and sit at their machines.
