Wendy Williams Workshop

I spent today doing Day One of a Wendy Williams Workshop - when I first saw this quilt called "Round the Garden" ....
 -  it really drew me in...I wouldn't attempt it at the moment - it is so big...but it's great to learn her techniques and play with all the bright colours she uses.

So today we learnt some flowers and how to use some simple embroidery stitches to decorate them..my efforts today - and one that I did for homework.  These flowers will get more decorative work on them when they are attached to the background.


Far from perfect - but nature isn't perfect either!!!

Off to finish my homework...got some tracing to do!
