WOW – what an amazing day it was and how hard everyone worked for this excellent tutor. Thank you Lizzie for a super day.
We were all given a ‘pack’ which included background fabrics, pattern, wadding and other fabrics in colours of our choice.
We worked in layers – first cutting out the basic tree pattern and then applying cut shapes to give shadow and definition, finally ending with flower and leaf patterns to create our own very different ‘tree’. There were 14 of us, all starting off with the basic tree shape and no two were alike – amazing.
To show the process I am using my own piece of work to follow through the stages; as we were all so busy, I didn’t have time to go around and photograph all the stages of everyone’s piece.
First stage – basic tree shape working through the other stages -
until we reached the final stage before stitching.
A selection of work is shown below - named where possible -

Some pieces had started to be quilted by the end of the afternoon.
I will try to show some of the finished pieces when I can.
