In Adelaide for The Quilting Room

I flew to Adelaide on Friday to teach another three day Jane Austen quilt workshop for Helen Campbell of The Quilting Room.

I have been very busy teaching three quilts: "Pemberley", "Longbourne" and "Lambton", some of the ladies being total beginners to hand appliqué.

Here are a couple of photos of progress so far.

This is the urn for "Longbourne" by Sandra. Beautiful.

This is Yvonne's urn. Gorgeous.

Andrea came for the day.  She only began her "Lambton" this time last month so, wow, she has worked so quickly.
