...I was getting ready to retire I heard about long leisurely days where there was TIME to do anything I wanted.. crafting, reading, watching films... reading Blogs .. WELL 2 years on I am CONVINCED I was given the wrong job description! I rarely get to do any of these things !!! lol x
To-day however ...I did xx
Yaaaay x I have been to Marthal for a Quilter Guild Area day xx The speaker was Lizzie Wall.... ejwall.wix.com/ejwall ... I LOVE her work .....she is a funny and inspirational teacher x I have done several of her workshops before.
(that isn't her at the front .. that is Margaret who as our glorious leader for the day xx) To-day we made chickens....
and YES I came home and finished it off xx ....
...OK ... I know it is very small and I think the background is a bit busy.. but it doesn't stop me loving this little wall hanging x
Lizzie says she loves teaching quilters as they are always happy to have a go .. remember my last quote about this? When I posted it I was having a go at learning to do a knit-on/appliqued border...
well... you know what? It was fine once I got going xx lol ...
.. and I had a go at one in double knitting..
.......onto the next challenge xx lol x
...and while I am talking about .. having a go ...my daughter is having a go at Blogging .. so if you have a few minutes free you may want to go over and have a look x .... www.weatherwaxknits.wordpress.com x
