Retreat projects
We had a fabulous time on our Stitching Getaway in March at Tortworth Court Hotel. Sylvia Critcher shared lots of new techniques, ideas and tips and sent everyone off inspired for their new projects. One of our ladies has sent us her lovely finished Wild Rose cushion that she started at the weekend. Why not check out our photo album from the weekend on Facebook and see what our ladies got up to.
Corded and Stuffed
Carol, all the way on the otherside of the world in Perth, Australia, contacted us before Christmas as she was looking to get some trapunto wool and learn the craft. For her first attempt. she has made this lovely version of Sylvia Critcher's Christmas Rose Pin Cushion and she has used hers as a Christmas decoration rather that a pin cushion.
What to Watch in February 2013
We start the month off with yet more inspiration from the Hope Quilters’Exhibition ; this is the final part of our wander round their exhibition with Sylvia Critcher acting as guide and hostess. We enjoy work that is complicated such as Baltimore just as much as the use of simple panels that we can all be tempted into purchasing when at a show! Sylvia's group also have a wide variety of talents making small items - just you see.
What to Watch in January 2013
Inspiration We start off with lots more inspiration from the Hope Quilters’ Exhibition with Sylvia Critcher acting as our guide. Workshops to enjoy The workshops this month include a really quick JR bag – that’s Jennie Rayment but it could be Jelly Roll; a really quick Stripey Quilts from Valerie and how to machine quilt it very simply; and Valerie shows you how to create a Tumbling Blocks quilt by hand - the display quilt is stunning.

What you can enjoy watching on the site in December 2012
An Exhibition to wander round We have started the month off with a wander round the Hope Quilters’ Exhibition that was held in Kent earlier in the year; this was a fantastic exhibition organised by Sylvia Critcher to showcase the work created (and finished!) by her students over the previous 3 years – and boy is there a lot of it! (so this is just part 1!) Still time to make things for Christmas As Christmas is just around the corner we thought you might like a couple of really quick ideas to help with making some wonderful woven cards (but these will be good for other occasions too) from The Stitch Witch plus a really quick last minute wall hanging decoration from Valerie.
