Fantastic !!!

Woohoo, I can foundation piece.  About time.  It opens up a whole new world of patchwork and quilting possibilities :-) Unfortunately I didn’t get  to stay the whole day, but the tutor was kind enough to start with the hardest stuff, which was what I was specifically there to learn.  So by the time I left at 1pm I had done a few sample blocks.  Here they are….

After such a good day I came home and needed to do some more.  It would have helped if I had remembered to pack my foot pedal back into my machine case :-( Doh!  I’ll have to go back tomorrow and get it.  I do have a spare machine, so I did some more sewing anyway.  A cow, well almost, needs an eye, ears and a tail.

The meeting at the school was great, they are being very helpful, putting Nathan into a year 12/13 Comp class and a VC animation class that’s run by Natcol.   We just have to see how the nutty IT teacher copes with having a student who wants to learn.  I’ll be keeping tabs on how it all goes.  All in all a pretty good day.

 

Oh, I have a pic of a piece of stunning fabric to show, but I’ll save that for tomorrow.  You didn’t expect me to go to a class situated in a quilt shop and not come home with fabric did you?  Doesn’t affect my fabric diet anyway, as I was in credit at the shop, so the FQ i got evened it all out :-)
