Wendy - Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!!

Nancy

Those are great Wendy.

link to the workshopand my quilt is on her blog. I've put my specimens on my profile

Rits it's a fun class I went to by Hilary Beattie to make a silhouette that you place on a randomly fused background.

Then you machine or hand embroider on it add lace, sari silk more scraps anything. I'll post a picture of the quilt I did on the day and another afterwards for a friend and I'll find the link to Hilarys website where you can see her work, the mess we made on the day and others in my groups work.

Really good fun. The chocvoc could help

Ladies ! I needed that laugh today ! And will look for the Chocovoc !

Ah lads, are we gettin' into the solvents now! Although Chocovoc does sound interesting Rosemary.

Wendy, spill the beans please, what's the project?

Sounds very interesting! I hadn't thought of just getting some alcohol to sniff. If I can't find Chocovok, I wonder if I could just snort some vodka while eating a Snickers bar....

Wendy,
I am intreguied as to what your other project might be.

You lot crack me up. It's a good thing Nancy doesn't drink or she'd be on the floor incapable of any sewing and ironing bits of fabric to the underside of the table. Chocolate now you're talking that'll induce a trance

If you get to enjoy doing it I've got another project that you can enjoy letting go with

Chocolate! It will put you in a good mood, make you a little hyper and happy with the result no matter what. Then off to bed with you and no peeking until the morning.

Ok, how about assembling it last thing at night, 15 minutes to get everything into place and your not allowed to change it when you come to sew it down in the morning (well not much anyway ) Tight time limits to 'get 'er done' might work instead. But the bead/button chucking rule still applies!

... or maybe a bubble bath and a nice hot cup of chamomille tea? Both can be very relaxing...

The difficulty for me is that I don't drink. But maybe I can come up with something else that will make me less uptight! Maybe after a massage???

Thanks, Rosemary--sounds like a plan!!!! I watched Yvonne Porcella's episode last night and again a few minutes ago. I'm ready to go! Too bad I don't have any scraps with fusible. But, I guess I could take a bunch of scraps and slap them on a sheet of steam-a-seam, use some and save some for another face...
