Other TAFE Class Samples
I am not sure if the idea for bold flowers came about as a result of the Ballarat workshop I'd been to or one with the Swan Bay Quilters (Nov 1988) but stained glass was certainly the flavour of the month and I enjoyed the heat fixing and stitching process.
This cushion design finally came into being
as a class sample for the Tamworth TAFE in May 89. I quite like the large flowers and hand
applique process but purple silks– what was I thinking? I gave the finished cushions to my Mother for
Mother’s Day.
We had made these purple sample blocks in our patchwork classes and I used them up to make a pretty but rather substantial carry-all. I still use it today to carry quilts to group meetings because it fits my hoop.
This was another bag I made up to fit my cutting mat. We carried a lot of our own supplies and tools with us (to make things easier on ourselves) to class. The landscape design was the view from my kitchen window at Tamworth and made up in a TAFE class.
I think that about wraps it up for those TAFE projects. I know I did quilting as an elective as well but I can't for the life of me think what I did for my major work. Obviously not a quilt or I would have it with me now. Oh well, maybe one day I'll get a flash of inspiration.

(I've just noticed that I really did have a thing for purple at the time.)
