DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOPS
" RED CROSS QUILT
The pattern for this quilt top was inspired by an old 1940/50 Canadian red cross quilt that were made and given during the second world war to families who lost there homes due to bombed in out major cities. It is an easy hand sewn over papers block that is then appliqued onto a backing. Suitable for all including beginners.
" PRINCESS AND THE PEA.
What more could a little girl or women, who loves dolls want. A Princess, her clothes, her dog, all the bedding including a white whole cloth and to top it off a white wooden bed…….. bliss.
" DESIGN-A -ANGEL
In this workshop we all make the same Angel body but adorn her with a choice of clothing and hair and wings which will make her individual to you.
" JELLY ROLL QUILT
This is such a lovely quilt to make, its easy and very quick and teaches you five techniques which help brush up those patchwork skills. You can use a jelly roll or scraps from your stash or ten fat quarters. The sashing can be cut from plain cottons, floral, checks, linens or denim. Its perfect for a baby quilt especially if you use white sashing , great for the man in your life if you use his cast off shirts and denim in the sashing, go girlie with lots of pink, or moody with country colours, an all round winner.
" TWAS THE NIGHT BEFOE XMAS
This advent calendar has twenty-four little pockets that are disguised as beds. It has bought many a smile to my four children, not forgetting the tears when someone has got the wrong gift. I vary the pressie from rubbers, hair bands, beauty products, even tickets for the Panto. I would love to say it's easy but you do need some experience with the rotary cutter.
" KIRSTIE ALSOPPS STOCKING
These stockings are just lovely to make, they use up all your scraps and give you an excuse to go shopping for tapes and ric rac. I originally made the large one and most students groaned at the thought of filling them so I now give you the 18" size with opportunities for you to enlarge the pattern to whatever size you would like.
" A QUILT ROOM TIDY
This is such a handy hanging to have in your workroom; I made it from all the new French style linens that are in your quilt shops at the minute but it would look equally gorgeous in cotton or denim. There are lots of easy gusseted pockets for you to store all your sewing goodies in.
" CHRISTMAS WITH MANDY
Every year I make lots of new decorations to adorn your home at Christmas. This workshop will include all the old favourites as well as new projects. The projects will all be easy and simple for you to complete on the day. Simple table runners, lots of angels, stars and hearts and gingerbread men.
