Fabric and Lace Book Workshop

 There was so much excitement, concentration, chatter

and intense activity in my home recently

when I conducted a workshop in

creating a fabric and lace book

after being approached

by three enthusiastic women all coming from a quilting

background.

 

 

 There were Vivienne and Virginia

who travelled the furthest - about a 10 hour trip

 

 and then there was Jesse from

 Lace Age Girl blog

(please go and visit her beautiful blog and wonderful

photography there. Jesse has been creating with

fabrics, laces and papers now for some time)!

 

 They brought oodles and oodles of fabrics and laces

to work on their projects - this being their first

attempt at creating a "book" 

using them

and 

 

 they all took to their new creations

like to ducks to water

 

 I had to prize them away from

creating their pages

 

 for some nourishing tea, coffee and almond cake

refreshments

 

 but by the time the evening meal was to be served

I think they were ready to take a real break

after which we continued on well into

the evening just to reach the

stage when they felt they had grasped their direction.

 

 They all achieved fantastic results

 

with their own chosen themes, images and materials

 creating pages within their covers including pockets.

 

 Here they are after a well earned sleep

the following morning

posing with their achievements

as well as one very satisfied and proud teacher

 sharing in their success!!!

Well done girls - I can't wait to see their finished books.

All's well that ends well and as

everybody knows the more we put in 

the more we receive!

Wishing you all a wonderful Mother's Day

wherever you are!
