Bernina Club Day 16th November 2011
What a wonderful day we all had at the Club day today. This month we had three birthdays to celebrate!!
including a big 70th birthday.I brought along my special Home made Vanilla and Chocolate Cake with lots of lovely creamy icing on top. It always goes down well!!! We had several new members too. they all enjoyed it very much and can't wait for next month.
Laine, one of our regular member talked about Foundation Piecing, she had made lots of samples and kits up too. Very interesting indeed and thank you Laine well done.
Laine makes wonderful quilts, and bags and is always willing to share her work with the group.
Anne, who does wonderful digitizing amongst other things, showed us some of her work too.
Over coffee and cakes, we all sang happy birthday and gave out birthday cards. Davina and Myself (who run the club) thanked everyone for attending and supporting the club over the last year. Those that took the time to prepare and do a little talk throughout the year were given a little gift as a token of our appreciation in making the group so successful. Many thanks to all the members who attend regularly to support each other.
we are very lucky to have such vibrant talent members in the group who are willing to show and tell, and share their textile/sewing skills, good and bad for the good of others.
Here are some examples of Foundation Piecing. I am sure you will agree they look great.

Kathleen, one of our members, made a lovely but simple 'Azuma Bukuro Bag'.
She had very kindly made up a little kits for us all, to have a go at making one of our own cute little bag.

Bernina Bonanza Event
I have been busy delivering sewing classes. Having lots of fun sharing sewing skills with others.
At West End Sewing Centre in Cheltenham we had a 'full house' for the Creative Overlocking Course.
Everyone had a good time, making flatlocking stitching, rolled hems, lettuce edges, adding lace and beads, stitching with wire. Just how versatile the Overlocker can be is amazing!!!
Today's workshop - Creative Ways with Bias, went down very well indeed. Creating your own trimmings to match your garments, or soft furnishing, just make your projects individual and unique.
Using a Rotary Cutter, board, and Cutting Rulers, Everyone made their own bias, piping, corded inserts, flat soft hem edges, bias ruffles and much more in many sizes with all sorts of fabrics-
- navy strip look so different when cut on the cross- !!
Bet you didn't know you could do so much with Bias!

for my latest classes
At my regular evening sewing workshops at Karen's Studio in Coventry the students have been busy getting to grips with patchwork squares, finding out how to turn up smart trousers, making a fitted bodice with a sweetheart neckline and a lovely draping skirt to match - made in beautiful Indian Design hand woven silk fabric and learning new mixed media techniques. As usual everyone enjoyed a cup of tea and homemade cake as well.
