While down here Caitlyn attended a dyeing class with my friend Tig at the local craft centre - and she managed 4 T-shirts in a morning. (Apologies for the missing tooth!)
She loves using her hands and is great little sewer. The project is a pre-cut felt handbag with plenty of embellishments. I love the concentration!
So now it is full steam ahead with getting organised for hanging two exhibitions at the Festival - a retrospective of the four years that Contemporary Quilt has been running a journal quilt project and the 42 quilts from our group's Breakthrough challenge. Contemporary Quilt is the arty specialist subgroup of the UK Quilters' Guild. We have nearly 500 members - including our own Linda!
I am taking a two day class on composition with Elizabeth Barton and have promised to meet up with Rayna and say hello on your behalf.
I'm away from Monday till the following Sunday (22nd August) - yippee!

I'm very envious of you doing a class with Elizabeth Barton - her blog is one I read almost religiously and really get a lot out of. Hope she is as good at teaching as she is at writing.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am an EB fan. I hope it's a good class - and have a wonderful week. The shots of the kids are very cute - and nice to see Caitlyn taking after Granny.
ReplyDeletethe tee shirts are gr8 - the photos of the kids even better
ReplyDeletehope all went well at the festival. looking forward to hearing all abt it
The photos of the grandchildren are delightful. Before you know it we will be recruiting Caitlyn for our group. I hope your experience at the festival was as exciting as it promised to be, and look forward to hearing all about it. Enjoyed seeing your photo on Rayna's blog. You looked like you were having a great time!
