Wool Applique Workshop

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! |

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!

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.

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!
