For the last two days I've been taking one of Gloria Loughman's classes and had a wonderful time. Her forte is more for innovative quilts depicting natural landscapes and she has developed techniques which make me appear much clever than I am when it comes to artistic quilts. I completed the background on the first day and then finished the wall hanging today. I decided not to make my project too large as I knew that when I return home I'd be very busy with the comfort quilts and I didn't want another UFO.I'm pleased with the result and only have to square it up and apply the binding. It looks like I'll have a quilt to keep this time. I based it on a photo of the sunset in the Australian desert and It's one of my favourite scenes that I've photographed and I plan on having the photo enlarged as well as it's one of DH's favourites too.
Gloria was a lovely teacher and very helpful with techniques etc so I learned a lot and had a fun time doing something different to my usual quilting style.
I will sleep well tonight and I have 2 more days of classes so more fun to come.
More later, Hugs Jan Mac
