Fabric Bowl workshop details

FABRIC BOWL WORKSHOP 22nd JANUARY 2009
Above is some ideas of what the fabric bowls look like, the picture is from Gail Lawther's book. The Needs List is as follows:

MUST HAVE A MACHINE THAT DOES ZIG ZAG STITCH

Scissors; paper scissors, good quality fabric-cutting scissors and small sharp-pointed embroidery scissors.
Soft pencil
Long Pins for holding sections together while stitching them.
Chalk marker
Long quilt ruler
Felt pens/fabric marker pens
Paper
Template plastic or thin card
Thread. You will use a lot of thread! Cotton, polyester, poly/cotton or rayon
Fabric Cotton or silk, pattern or plain depending on your choice of bowl.

The same thread is used in the bobbin as in the top. Filling more than one bobbing means that the needle stays threaded while changing bobbins, making the interruption less noticeable.

A cutting board and masking tape may prove useful.

SPOT THE MISTAKE

This is the quilt that was raffled for Leo House, not the one I put on at the beginning of the month sorry.

More money for Leo House

This quilt has at last found a bed to lay on, it was made by Seahaven Day group in 2003. It was the forerunner to the Turquoise Japanese Folded quilt which was at our exhibition in September. The quilt was machine pieced (foundation piecing) and hand quilted (sorry the photo is so small). We donated the quilt to Leo House and it was auctioned at one of their functions recently, the quilt has found a nice home and raised £70 for Leo House.

More ladies hard at work. Scroll down for some info about Louise Mabbs.
