Don't Look Now....

Two posts in one day... what is happening?! Well, it is just that I had so much fun today that I have to tell update you :) The class was taught by Kellie from Don't Look Now, and if you ever get a chance to go to one of her classes - go for it!!! I thought it was just going to be on applique, but there was so much more that Kellie shared with us.

The project we worked on was this tree:


We traced, cut and ironed on the pieces:


Then Kellie explained her raw edge applique method. It looks easy when she does it :) But I had fun, and think it could become quite addictive! I am inspired now to go and do lots of practicing. And more so with the beautiful quilting that Kellie showed us. Here is her demo piece:


It was a lovely day and we all had something beautiful to show for it. Here we are proudly holding up our work:


The day went pretty quickly, but you know what the best part is? It is a two day class... so in a few weeks I get to go to another!! Until then I'll be doing lots of practice pieces :)

I love your tree and the class sounds like it was fun and that you learned alot--it is probably time I thought about going to a class on something again!!!

I love that tree. I'm not terribly crafty, more a knitter than sewer but i love to see what other people make.
