Wool Applique Workshop
October 13, 2016

Eight​ Guild Members enjoyed emulating the technique taught by Hattie Vandyk.  Several of us have found a new love for hand sewing work.  Even though no one finished their project we are all obviously very pleased with ourselves!

Greta's Workshop List

PECQG Nov. 2016 Workshop: The Palette Quilt (New York Beauty style) Purchase of pattern required.
Teacher:  Greta Kristiansen
Nov. 12, and 26, 2016  Location: Milford Town Hall
9:30 AM - 4:00 PM
Material Sheet Available upon Sign up.
43" x 43" Wall Hanging consisting of 16 identical 8" NYB blocks, a pieced outer border with free-hand points, an appliquéd inner border and curved corner blocks


 

 

Day 1: Nov 12, 2016  Fifteen people were present while Greta treated us to almost an hour long trunkshow.  She had lots of quilts, sample blocks, and block rejects for us to examine.  Some attendees had never paperpieced before, but by the end of the day everyone had completed one New York Beauty block center.
Day 2:  Nov 26, 2016  Greta talked the class through the steps required to make her particular border style.  She also explained how to attach the border and what choice of top stitching works for her.  Several in the group had progressed to the design wall with their New York Beauty squares!

​Cross Stitching: A new skill

On Thursday March 2, 2017 at Picton Fabric World, two of our guild members, Maggie Goode and Judy Blemkie, gave cross stitching lessons.  All of the materials were provided from the Mary Pease donation.
It was a fun, relaxing day.  We had excellent instructions and soon we were selecting more elaborate designs to try! Thank you Maggie and Judy!  When they offer to teach another session, don't miss out!
Getting the hang of it!

Thursday March 9, 2017 Sylvia Naylor's "Capturing Summer"

Picture
We were honoured to have Sylvia Naylor come to our guild in March 2017.  She is a fibre artist renowned for her stitchery work in scenes of nature.
Check out her website at     www.sylvianaylor.com

Fifteen lucky people attended Sylvia's Workshop, held at the Milford Town Hall on Thursday March 9, 2017.  We were given group and individual instruction/attention.  Many colours of organza and threads were available to choose and work with.  Everyone created something different but all were beautiful!  Not all workshop attendees are captured in the group photo.

Bethany Garner Fabric Dyeing Workshop Friday May 5, 2017

We did vat dyeing, shibori dyeing, and painting with thickened dyes.  Even if you had done this before, it was great to get together with friends to make all of your mess at one time and come away with new inspirations in colour!
The workshop took place at the Baxter Arts Centre, Bloomfield, Ontario.
