| the lovely tracey and lisa |

| tracey's amazing blocks. she was a total overachiever. |
 |
| i couldn't go home without these. it would have been rude not to. |
on friday, i managed to find my way to lowestoft (despite my complete lack of direction or faith in myself) it's britain's most easterly town doncha know. my destination was
patch fabrics, a little gem of a shop, painted bright pink and full of delicious stuff. sadly, i was there to work, not play, although to be fair there was a lot of that too...
anyway, i taught my
portholes technique, and it went really well. the ladies all embraced the method quickly and had a whale of a time, but we were all exhausted by the end of it (why is that?) they all went home with 4 completed blocks: circles, flowers, heart, & hexagon star. a very satisfying day's work, especially afterwards when i spent some money and nattered to claire and
leanne. but more about leanne in another post - for she is also a screen printer, and oh my god, she is GOOD!!!
UPDATE: just to let you know i'm doing portholes at
sew and so's in bungay, suffolk on saturday 8th september and i'm back at patch fabrics on friday september 14th doing an improv workshop. book now! x
how fab! Now you just need to do the LMQG portholes session ;-)
ReplyDeleteSounds great! That spotty fabric is just gorgeous. Looking forward to discovering a new screen printer :) Kx
ReplyDeleteoh god, i need to sort that out charlotte, but am swamped at the moment...december or january not so bad tho????
ReplyDeletethanks kylie. if you like my stuff, you'll love hers, it's super gorgeous.
December or January sounds fab for the LMQG portholes session - don't worry, we won't let you forget! ;-)
ReplyDeleteit's scary when you start thinking the year away pennie! but that sounds good, thank you x
ReplyDeleteGah I can't believe I didn't see this workshop was on, this would have been a belter, - Portholes is the one class at the Retreat that I didn't do that I so so wish I had done ....
ReplyDeleteNever mind, if you do fix a date for LMQG I will come along to that one instead!!
i'm doing portholes at sew and so's in bungay on 8th sept, then back at patch on 14th sept doing improv if that's any use to toy gertie?
ReplyDeleteHi !
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to know if there is a way to learn how to do portholes without going all the way to England ? (online tutorial, magazine, book)
I would LOVE to know how but I cannot find a tutorial anywhere !
Thank you !
