However I like this close up image.

I think the faeries are getting lost among the stripes!

Start of fairy Quilt

Hi,
This is the beginnings of my first quilt after Nancy Crow. The starter is an alphabet fairy panel that I brought on the way to upper hutt that week. it will be for wayne's first Grand daughter. I am using some existing strips from the class & making some new ones. I think I'll need to dye a bit more fabric this weekend. I don't think the bright apricot piece is right. I also have a poem that I would like to include. So I have a lot of design work to do on this yet. Any comments are always welcome.
Thanks Linda

Well, I've had the most awesome week with Nancy Crow at a retreat at Upper Hutt. No quilting class will ever be the same again. It was incrediby inspiring. I have learnt a tremendous amount. This is a photo of the quilt top that is the culmination of a weeks work. The days were intensive and long. Starting at 5.30 - 6.30 am to 10.00 - 11.30pm. Nancy was there from 9am - 5pm & stopped in for a short while in the evening to answer any questions. I am now going to continue on & practise what I have leart. So watch this space.

Hi,
Well, I dyed my last lot of fabric for the Nancy Crow class. However, some of the other colours didn't come out that well, so I have overdyed them. These seemed to have worked better. I think my water was too hot when I rinsed the colur out. This time I used cold water & that seems to be better. Today we went over to Tauranga to meet Waynes granddaughter, Charlotte, born yesterday. She is beautiful. Will finish getting ready tomorrow then drive to Lower Hutt on Sat. I am getting excited now. See ya.
