Workshops with Kim

I know all you glorious applique enthusiasts would have loved to have been in Kim's class but since that wasn't possible, I have some photos to share with you all. The next three are courtesy of Belinda Betts who did the first class on Wednesday. The class project was the Flower Garden Quilt.
We had a beautiful venue in north Sydney that had large windows and a spectacular view, the food was really wonderful too.
A show, tell and drool over Lollypop Trees.
The rest of the photos are from my class on Saturday which was the last one, we didn't mind the cool wet weather outside at all. The Flower Basket Medallion quilt is on the right, is anyone making this quilt?
The Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably class was held in the room next door and after classes, there was a bit more show and tell. This quilt was made by Penny, my neighbour in the class who did a class with Kim a few years back before she retired from teaching. The Mariners Compass quilt is not available as a pattern.
I guess you know by now that the garden quilt will be my next new project.

    It's so nice to see Kim and all of those beautiful quilts. I just know you had a wonderful time. I love that Mariner's Compass quilt with all of the hexagons. Thanks for posting your photos.

    It was fun doing the workshops, everyone was keen to get a lot of blocks cut up & ready to sew at home. We did mainly fabric selection for the applique pieces, so everyone got through a lot of blocks during the day. I hope to see the progress in this blog! Kim McL

    I am drooling back here in Michigan too. Thank you, Janet, for sharing the photos. We all wish we could have been there! I just love the Mariner's Compass quilt! We NEED that pattern. Any plans to publish it?

    First let me say that I'm drooling over the view from that window! I'd love to wake up to that every morning.
    Kim's quilts are so unbelievable! I'd travel hours to take a class from her. Liza-any chance you could host her? I'll bet you'd have a waiting list.

    More envy and awe here too! I even saw something pretty covering the work table in the Lollipops photo. My biggest problem is not having enough time to work on my Stars and Sprigs. I can't even think about the next one. So thank you, Janet, for filling in with the wonderful photos.

    It looks like you had a wonderful place for the classes? I'll bet it was a real treat to see the quilts in person..and see the fabric choices everyone was making? Thanks for sharing your pics! :)

    Any time Kim wants to cross the pond, I am sure we would make her feel more than welcome.
    Must say the view from my window of 2 feet of snow/ice melting would probably not entice her to make the trip.
