Tote n Gloat & Freeform feathers

Saturday was Tote n Gloat, and the debut of QSM2015 ( Quilt SymposiumManawatu 2015), which was the the reveal of the Logo, Executive team & waistcoats.
 What a wonderful day, Great merchants (I visited the pincushion ladies three times to add to my collection), people to catch up with & meet, wonderful quilts, amazing challenges and the lovely guest speaker Cindy Needham with her stunning creations. Fantastic day, but better yet it, was the eve of my second class with Cindy -Freeform feathers. A sample of beautiful silk to create on saw some decide to make use of a practice piece, but, I'm now a believer of just do it.  So feather it was, and don't forget to leave enough space in the feathers to do background fillers. What fun!

 It was a wonderful class spent playing with lovely people, getting to know members, sharing (including the extremely delicious Chocolate cup cakes compliments of Moana, laughing encouraging and feathering.

I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from an experienced amazing quilter from the USA.
Thank -you Rose City.
Now to finish the pieces I started and post photos of course  No more M.WIPS for me (Multiple Works In Progress), but first to organize the Hororwhenua Arts Trail site for Town & Country Quilters this weekend in the HDC building.  Oh it never ends.
