Another new month

What a beautiful day - hopefully this is Spring at last?
Yesterday saw "Workshop Weather" altho it was a wee bit chilly in Alloway Village Hall for our Accidental Landscape workshop.
Brows were furrowed and concentration levels at an all time peak, but just look at the results..........
This landscape is what started it all - Janet Bryden made this a couple of years ago and I loved it so much - I thought, mmm, that would make a good workshop.........



...............so I bought the book and tried one.........


and then another.........
if you build it they will come, and they did................

this is Mary's, brilliant fabric choice for her island.......


and this is Margaret's.....really atmospheric


and Marjorie's mellow landscape..........



and Morag's....check out those sheep..........


and Alexis'...,red sails in the sunset..............

Helen has created a lot of depth to her landscape with her choice of fabric.......

and Tricia told me this is a local Maybole scene........really dramatic, and brilliant border choice..


Karen knocked up this wee Tuscan scene in the blink of an eye........


Ann's wintry scene.....so crisp..........


and Wendy's beach scene.......................great perspective.........


another of Ann's....one she made earlier............


my snowboarder...............

this is yet another of Ann's landscapes.........she just couldn't wait for the workshop........


and this chilly Winter scene is by Jackie...................


and this one is by Lynette............she agonised over her 2nd border but got it just right!


and finally........Glenda's................no pic, you were deep in stitching when I was snapping away but I will catch it at the Open Night.

I was given permission to run this workshop by the author of the book "Accidental Landscapes", Karen Eckmeier, on the condition that students purchased a book or pattern. I think all agreed the book purchase was worth it and for those of you who were unable to attend, I recommend its purchase. Click here to view Karen's website.
