Back at Broom Farm

Oh I've missed teaching at Broom Farm! It was lovely to be back today!

We've shaken up the classes a bit, and have planned a number of one off workshops - starting today with recycling and reusing a pair of jeans 

We had great fun - and the girls made some fab denim pots

And slippers!

( I love Pinterest!)

Paint & Paper

Yesterday's session at Chertsey museum took me a little out of my comfort zone - I like to work with fabric and needle and thread, but we were using paper and paint and paintbrushes!

I bought some transfer paints at a quilt show earlier in the year: you paint on paper then iron the image onto polyester and the image transfers, but much brighter colours.

We had some fab results, but the most stunning was this tiger.  

Stephanie used a printed colouring page ( from google) and pretty much painted the whole tiger orange, planning to add the stripes later with embroidery thread, but the paint didn't transfer from the black areas so the detail transferred too.
