Just setting the scene for you here. While I am writing this post Miss 23 is playing the piano in the background. I love to hear the piano! All of our girls can play (wish I could!) and the boys know the basics too. So I am having a lovely relaxed day which is perfect for this post!
This past weekend I attended a workshop run by Kellie (
Don't Look Now) at
Hettie's Patch. Kellie does such beautiful work! Go take a look if you are not familiar with it. Everyone had the best time and we all produced some great work! Thanks to Kellie, Lorraine, Leanne, Karen and Kate who worked so hard to give us an excellent workshop. If you ever have an opportunity to do a class with Kellie, don't hesitate. She is a great teacher with so many hints and tips that I found really valuable.
We had the opportunity to watch and listen to Kellie.............
..........and then it was down to work! At some stages during the day it was so quiet in the workroom! Just the hum of sewing machines. Of course, it wasn't that often, but we were all really inspired by Kellie's work!
This was my result. I love it, and whilst my work is not at Kellie's standard, I can see that if I practiced I would improve! I feel like I have the techniques I need to know to be successful. I think I will turn this practise piece into a pillow cover and I am going to practice on a couple of quilts this week to keep my momentum going!

Thank you for sending me to Don't Look Now. I love her quilting. I looked into a class, but the cost of going over the ocean is just to high! Lucky you got to take a class.
Wow! You mean after one weekend with Kellie, you made this? Holy smokes, Kris. It's beautiful.
Now I have another reason for wanting to visit you Aussies. ;o)
