Even more from the Graduate Show

The City & Guilds course can also be taken by distance learning and this is the route followed by Joanne who lives in deepest darkest Essex (Southend!) and Katherine White from Staffordshire. 

Joanne won the award for Outstanding Student which was brilliant.

Katherine (Kate) White has a really quirky style. I just loved her teapot made for the Form assessment and her flowerpot container.

More from the C & G Graduate Show

Johanna Gardner was selected by Region 9 (Cambridgeshire and Norfolk) to represent them at the Festival of Quilts 2013 'In the Spotlight' gallery. The chosen theme is 'The Underground' to celebrate 150 years since the first London tube was opened. Jo has done region 9 proud and we look forward to seeing her quilt hanging at the NEC in Birmingham from 8th - 11th August 2013. It is also her City & Guilds Final Quilt.

The Cosy Cabin - a new quilt shop has opened

The new patchwork and quilting shop called The Cosy Cabin has just opened at Risby Barns just off the A14 about 4 miles west of Bury St Edmunds. Located in a log cabin the shop was officially opened by Stuart of 'The Sewing Bee' fame with invited guests from local quilting groups.

 I will be running Saturday workshops there from August and  longer courses from September 2013. Here are a few images to show the ranges on offer.
