Busy, busy, busy..

I have been very busy the last few weeks. Between some spring cleaning, having my in-laws visiting for almost 2 weeks and helping my own mother who is now in hospital for a new hip(..to name but a few)...somehow I managed to do some quilting.

I did a little bit of this, some free motion quilting:

The blocks I posted about before are now all together in a quilt, don't want to show too much yet as this is for the OEQC in October but this is a part of it :

And also done some of this, it is hand drawn with a black waterproof marker then colored in with brown

Need to get back to making some more Dear Jane blocks too..some are nearly finished and will post them sometime later this week. Little behind now, but still on my schedule of 1 block per week (..only just though).

'Till next time..

Just a quick picture of what we made during last wednesday's workshop at Trees...

Workshop

Tyvek paper version

Last wednesday I had the pleasure of attending a workshop with Trees.

We learned to use new materials, like Tyvek which we painted first and then heat treated with either a heat gun or an iron:

Tyvek fabric version

Afgelopen woensdag met veel plezier een workshop gevolgd bij Trees. We hebben kennis gemaakt met nieuwe materialen, zoals Tyvek, dit hebben we eerst geverfd en daarna verhit met een heat gun of een strijkijzer:

We also learned about Angelina fibers, we also heat treated these with an iron. This particular one was ironed over a stamp which brought out the pattern nicely.  And made a mini quilt with scraps of plastic.

...

We hebben ook gewerkt met Angelina fibers, deze hebben we ook verhit met een strijkijzer. Deze was gestreken over een stempel, wat een mooi patroon geeft.  En we hebben ook een mini quilt gemaakt met restjes plastic.

Till the next time!
