john & katy. john had just stepped off a plane on to foreign land
for the first time ever ;) |

| my student's work from the portholes workshop. they rocked. |
this past weekend was spent teaching at
baden powell house for the
fat quarterly crew in london. oh man. i don't think i have enjoyed myself so much in a LONG time. i actually laughed so much, i needed incontinence pads. i swore a lot, (particularly with
this lot) ate a lot, & laughed all of the time. one thing i didn't do, was take many photos. but that's ok, because all you need to do to witness all the sewing, the laughing, the silliness, the teaching & the quilts is go and check out the
FQ london 2012 flickr group or google 'fat quarterly retreat' and read a host of blog posts that can put it better into words than i can. it will be repeated next year and i hope i am asked to join in. in actual fact, i better be, otherwise i shall sulk. so a ginormous and gigantic thank you to
katy, tacha, john, brioni and
lynne. i love you all intensely & i miss you already. roll on next year! x
Awww...what a weekend eh? Your class was suuuu-per and I can't wait for next year too! You'll have another fabric line out by then too I think (?) so it shall be even more exciting!! Can you make sure I am in your Pub Quiz team again? Thanks ;) !
ReplyDeleteamy - me & you babe, for def in the pub quiz ;)
ReplyDeletelynne - bugger off you old office trout.
Yay, it was fab! Thank you for being such a great (and patient) teacher and for giving approximately 60 of us that 'ah ha' moment with portholes. Roll on 2013!
ReplyDeleteI want to 'do' you next year please xxx
ReplyDeleteI want to do the portholes next year, I only heard great things about your class and I saw some amazing blocks too. :)
ReplyDeletethank you for opening my eyes to a whole new (and far less scary way) of quilting circles, unfortunately I now have to add it to my list of 'one-day' quilts, but I can't wait to see a whole host of them turning up in the flickr pool which I guess should be happening sometime on sunday evening, right?
ReplyDeleteI loved you so much, if I was taking anyone home it'd would've been you or John :o) is there a portholes tut anywhere ???
ReplyDeleteI left my Porthole unattended for 5 minutes and it got nabbed by the Porthole Paparazzi...!! Had a great time all weekend and loved the P'hole technique... can see it going places... Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYay, was so much fun, and loved your class, you've save my upcoming precious quilt from the dreaded bondaweb!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your class, def going to do more. Thanks for doing my interview (and for all your other "helpful" advice!)
ReplyDeleteI loved the Retreat and my only disappointment was that I didn't get to do your Portholes class. Everyone I spoke to who did it said it was a fantastic class. Maybe next year!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for a fabulous and fun class. I love the portholes I made and am planning a quilt for my daughter!
