I spent the start of the week at the WI's Denman College teaching Happy Scrappy Patchwork which I always enjoy. I have a somewhat non conformist approach to patchwork and try to convey this to my students and I hope that the results speak for themselves. Five students with five totally different outcomes and not a fat quarter in sight.
Lots of laughs had by all!
Am back there teaching the same course May 15 & 16 and you don't have to be a WI member to attend so why not check out details on the Denman website :

And don't forget if you fancy learning hand patchworking I'll be at Les Soeurs Anglaises in August :

Laying out cut panels - note the hints of leopard print and brown velvet
 |
| 70's retro meets Gees Bend - great fun |
|
 |
One panel nearly done and second one started
 |
Three down one to go and then some more stripes for filling in the gaps,
fabrics used included Liberty prints from her wedding |
|
 |
Fabulous selection of fabrics will result in.....
 |
A wild and glorious piece using Mexican Day of the Dead
inspired fabric and some Indian sari |
|
 |
Impressive panel ready to be wadded and backed and edged
and then claimed by Grimblethorpe, her cat! |
 |
| Gloriously sunny panel - love the dots and spots |
