Went to a Gillian Travis workshop at the weekend - based on her Washday Blues quilt, we all did a house each. ('We' being the Embroiderers Guild Halifax Branch). A highly recommended tutor - try get on one of her workshops if you can - she also teaches in Europe.

| The workshop was entitled Burano Houses and these are in Venice. I changed the design of mine slightly and put a little black cat in the upstairs window. |

I'm interested in how you made the shapes for the Washday Blues project ... did you just draw the shapes onto Bondaweb, then cut them out and iron them? Thanks. Kate
Hi Kate...
The washing was drawn onto Heat n Bond - it's a bit like Bondaweb, but it has a paper backing not a greaseproof type and therefore the sticky bit stays stuck to the paper until you want to take it off. Not sure where to buy in England, I bought it in America. Then it is ironed onto the fabric and then the shapes are cut out. Have fun! Davina.
