We had a very intense day today at the Alford Craft Studio with seven ladies learning new techniques and using them to create a mini art quilt. I based the workshop on my Three Tall Trees design but participants were encouraged to use their own creativity to make their quilt their own.
Two of the ladies created beautiful pieces with their own designs while the other five chose to stick more to the original but, as you will see from the photos, each one has its own distinct style and beauty.

Everyone worked really hard throughout the day and produced some terrific work but, with so much to fit into the workshop, none of the pieces are quite finished……I will post updates as and when I receive images of the completed quilts.

We like them all – and we’ll look forward to seeing more photos. It’s always surprising to see such a wide style of quilts given that everyone had the same starting idea.

Yes, although they all used the same materials and the same techniques it was great to see how different each piece was.

Although everyone enjoyed it, in truth Sharon, it would have been more fun for the ladies if it had been a two day workshop. There was a lot to get through in a day. I’ve decided that all future art quilt workshops are going to be done over two days so less pressure and a nice relaxed pace.

That’s probably a very good idea. Working with fabric and stitches requires more time in the creative process.

All beautiful and individualized.
