Weekend Workshop
Welcome to Craft De Eyre’s first blog.We are really excited to be hosting some fantastic quality workshops here at Craft De Eyre, and to now be able to share some of the things we are doing with the wider community via the web. Our most recent quilting workshop being held on the first weekend in July 2010. WOW what a workshop, the fantastic weekend was held at Craft De Eyre Ceduna. We were privelaged to be led by the enspiring and motivating award winning quilter Elizabeth Camping.
Day one saw a workshop buzzing with anticipation and excitement, the array of schemes were truly amazing. Coral seas was the quilt of the day and all participants managed to complete their quilt tops. Following this blog are some pictures of the weekend so enjoy.
day 1 saw quilts like this created
Saturday night had a good crowd awestruck by the brilliance of Elizabeth Camping’s work,from the traditional designs and prints to the up to date modern fabrics and designs. We were lucky enough to enjoy Elizabeth’s trunk showand be even more motivated ready for Saturday’s workshop.
Day 2 saw a more challenged group eager to master the Elizabeth Camping design of Tessilated Flowers. Most of these quilts were completed in beautiful Batiks all though not all and again a large range of colour schemes were there to be enjoyed.
To sum the weekend up, we at Craft De Eyre would have to say thank you Elizabeth for an inspiring, motivating workshop that was fun and easy to learn. To all those that participated we thank you for your contribution to lots of fun, laughter and learning and we cannot wait for the next workshop.
