Had a super day last weekend, with Hazel from <a href="http://cottoncocktails.co.uk/" target="_blank">Cotton Cocktails</a> - she taught our quilting group a free motion quilting workshop, lots of lovely samples and lots of encouragement to try the patterns, and lovely calm demonstrations. A very lovely day - thanks Hazel.<br />

H hadn't done any modern liberated piecing before, and it was too random for her - she likes order and neatness in her blocks (shame it isn't in her bedroom, too, says her mother!). Anyway I'll get them put in an envelope and taken to the post office one day this week.<br />

made funky foam stamps stamped ovals on the backgrounds, with the idea
