Hanging out with Helen

I have been very lucky in the last couple of years when it come to getting into workshop with Australian and International tutors. Many years ago I saw a quilt called Mekong Gold by Helen Godden, and was just amazed at the creativity and beauty. Over the years I have followed  Helen's creative path, I just love the Three Sister quilt, it is just so beautiful.


Anyway a couple of weeks ago I found out the Helen was teaching at Sew This n That in Morayfield. I put my name and Sandra's name on the waiting list, and we both got in to do the workshop. We had so much fun and I enjoyed listening to Helen chatting about her life, ideas and future plans. We also got to see some of her other quilts.



We worked on the 5 x 5 grid on black home spun, I can't wait to  get stuck into finishing it now....



I love doing feathers
My own design

Oh yeah that's right I have to do the shopping, a little cleaning, play in the garden and catch up with blogging. The quilting may have to wait until next week. 

Happy stitching 
Cathy

  1. Love what you accomplished in the workshop - blow off the cleaning (shopping, unfortunately, is a must & gardening is fun) & sew while the muse is on you
