Garden Trellis

My 12 students have worked hard over the 2 day workshop Garden Trellis and stencilled, rubbed, painted, stitched and stitched, even discovering decorative stitches they didn't know they had on their machines. The trellis was made and the tiles well on the way to completion.

Quilting in the Highlands

Hello from the Southern Highlands, south of Sydney in New South Wales. I'm one of 5 tutors preparing for the 4 day quilting retreat Quilting in the Highlands organised by Berrima Patchwork  and run by Sue and Tamsin Harvey.

I'm teaching Garden Trellis and Opal Fever and will remember to take lots of photos! Quilt above is Opals which started the opal fever.

The Quilter's Rest

Marion, in the Garden Trellis workshop used photos, taken on her cattle property to make larger tiles. These scenes were beautiful with early morning light filtering through the gum trees, green tree frogs & native flowers from her garden.

At her Kingaroy, Queensland cattle property 'Tamalba' she runs a bed & breakfast retreat for quilters called 'The Quilter's Rest'. It sounds & looks delightful with a large work room & beds for 8.
