The Craft Sessions - Part 3 - We made!

Anna Farago's Block Printing trees!

My apologies for the break in blogging. I went on a much needed holiday, bush camping for a week with the small people, and thought I would be able to blog around it but it was not to be so......I have been known to engage in an unrealistic expectation in my time.

So today I wanted to show you some pictures from Leslie Keating and Melissa Wastney's classes. So many beautiful things were made. So many! .......

Scrap that. I think there are just too many pretty photos, and after trying to write this post for half an hour and only covering block printing I think I am going to have to break it up into more posts. 

So starting again...today we will be looking at some pictures from Leslie Keating's Block Printing and Freeform Patchwork classes. 

On with the show..... 

Block Printing with Leslie Keating

People loved this class. First time for most of them printing on fabric and they loved it. Did I mention that there was love?? 

And Leslie - well she was just an enthusiastic supportive bundle of joy! She loved it as much as they did.

Freeform Patchwork with Leslie Keating

So my friend Siri did this class and I don't think she would mind me paraphrasing what she said. I found her later in the afternoon, wagging her afternoon class so that she could keep doing more on her freeform patchwork quilt top..... She said something along the lines of "So I went in with a clear plan of what I wanted to do ......but then I realised within a minute or two that that wasn't what the class was about. I took a moment, went with it, and now I LOVE it. I can't stop, it's totally addictive. And so freeing!! So much fun."

 

Leslie brought baskets of scraps to use - so much joy!

One of Leslie's class samples which I really wanted to run off with...

Siri's lovely work

Go and have a look at Leslie's website. Her fabric is just stunning! We were so lucky to have her teach. 

I'll be back again soon with some more - promise!
