Monthly Class at Lyn's Fine Needlework, Baulkham Hills

I teach a once a month class on the second Wednesday of each month at Lyn's Fine Needlework in Baulkham Hills.

Lesley was working on her centre for "Rosings" today.  This is a paper foundation pieced Georgetown Circle block.

Richmond Ladies Retreat

Another busy day teaching.  This time at the Edmund Rice Conference Centre in Mulgoa.

Karol has finished her delightful version of "Pemberlini" with the silhouette of Jane Austen in the centre.  I just love it.

Michelle was laying out "Lambton" blocks and choosing borders.

Kerrie has completed her very beautiful, soft version of "Netherfield" in subtle purple, teal and biscuit.  Just gorgeous!

Kerrie started on "Hartfield" in totally different colours: red, navy, mustard and chocolate.
