Friday saw my first venture into teaching. At Make, Katie's workshop in Allendale, I was invited to lead a class " Get started with Patchwork". It was a bit nerve racking at first but the ladies in the class were lovely, keen to learn and didn't ask any awkward questions I couldn't answer.
They all worked hard and we achieved the desired outcome - 5 hand stitched pin cushions and 5 machine pieced cushions. I think they were all pleased with them and I was delighted with what they managed to produce in such a short time. I hope I was able to inspire them with my love of patchwork and quilting and that they will all carry on sewing for pleasure.
On Saturday we went to visit my dad at home in the borders - it was such a lovely weekend I was inspired to get out my camera and took a105 photos. Here is just a small selection.From Scenic ....
