My friend Cyn-d and I have been quilting on Mondays. We took a trip down to Material Rewards last week for some background fabric for her work in progress. We are both putting together our own versions of a Cottage Beauty quilt. Hers is the nine block version (large wall hanging for her LR), mine will be only six and only a small wall hanging size.. These are some of her unfinished blocks pinned onto a design wall for placement. They will be quite stunning when done. I'll take some pictures of mine soon. My colors are a little different.
I've also been taking a class on tatting on Saturday mornings. I first learned to tat about 8 years ago but haven't been practising and I forgot a few things. So, I signed up for the class and lo and behold when I walked in, the teacher, Sherry Townsend, is the same woman who taught the class I previously took.
Sherry is very talented and has a blog at http://celticdreamweave.blogspot.com where you can see her work.
Here is a picture of our class in progress from Sherry's blogspot. I'm the one in pink with my mouth open in awe ....
So glad that you got back into tatting and that you are enjoying Sherry's class. YES she is a wonderful person and very patient teacher. She was patient with me when she was teaching me hontion bobbin lace. The only time I get to see her is I have to fly to NY for Hector Tat Days(which I hope you can go to) on two different occasions. I hope you can join some of the online tatting groups that I know Sherry has mentioned to you.
