"Workshop in Progress"

Workshop in Progress Feb 9

Another week and I've got nothing to share with you, sorry. Very busy, but nothing to show for it. But I can tell you that The Monster now knows how to turn and stop when she skis.

It looks like many have you have been busy, it's great to see. I'm really enjoying reading all the posts. I hope everyone is getting some good feedback on the work they are sharing. If any concerns are coming up for you with the process, don't hesitate to email me directly.

(On that note, if you've emailed me recently and I've not got back to you, my apologies. Including the person who emailed me for a specific recipe and I accidentally deleted the email before I sent the recipe.)




Workshop in Progress - January 26

It's another week in the Workshop.

Thank-you so much for your tips on marking tools. I'm really keen to get one of those Hera tools. For now, I'm still eyeballing things, but I do like the idea of it.

This week I'd actually love it if you could help me out by pointing me to some favourite quilts. I'm in a photography class right now and I'm working on translating the concept of negative space from quilts to my photos. I'd love it if you could share links/photos to quilts you think demonstrate this concept. I know it's a bit different than expected for the Workshop, but sharing ideas is sharing ideas.

Don't forget to share your links here, I'm excited to see what you've got.



Workshop in Progress - January 19



Another week in the Workshop. We have some new participants, so make sure you take the time to check them out!

My question this week has to do with marking quilt tops for quilting. I've done this three times in about 100 quilts. The first time it worked, but I don't remember what I used. It was on this quilt. The second time the blue marks didn't come out. The third time I used tape to mark straight lines because I was afraid the marks wouldn't come up. And that's why I love free motion quilting!

I do, however, need to think about marking some upcoming projects. So, what are your favourite marking implements?
