A happy Goup of ladies enjoying their lunch break with Brandon. Kaffe was sitting quietly reading brochures. I bet they had made some great blocks too.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139897702169696195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775865396645690199.post-4289181211252827712014-03-03T23:01:13.533+11:002014-03-03T23:01:13.533+11:00It sounds fantastic - I'm very jealous!It sounds fantastic - I'm very jealous!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151658713483438324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775865396645690199.post-51273757326190401132014-02-27T03:34:19.418+11:002014-02-27T03:34:19.418+11:00Oh, that sounds like such fun!

What fun! About four years ago I took a snowball quilt workshop with Kaffe and Liza, and it went much like the day you described. And I'm so glad you got a photo with them - I forgot to do that! Oh, and I love your color combinations! Don't leave it too long to finish though - I'm embarrassed to say that my snowball quilt hasn't seen much attention since that workshop day four years ago :(Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518834618234390750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775865396645690199.post-67570282754910003952014-02-23T19:55:11.766+11:002014-02-23T19:55:11.766+11:00It sounds like it was fun and exciting but a littl...It sounds like it was fun and exciting but a little bit daunting at the same time.

As I read there were two things that 'stuck out' and will have foremost in my mind when I am next choosing fabrics. They were "Don't get matchy matchy with fabric" (not hard for me, as I don't naturally do it, but sometimes feel that I'm supposed to!) and "Elimination can be done afterwards". Thanks for sharing all that great advice and all the wonderful photos.Jenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619378781482679540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775865396645690199.post-77843620350706513072014-02-22T13:15:13.113+11:002014-02-22T13:15:13.113+11:00You just had my dream day...I'm green with env...You just had my dream day...I'm green with envy.

It sure was the most intimidating, exhausting, mind bending but most exhilarating workshop I have ever done....my mind is still percolating what we learnt and had to unlearn that day! Sure is food for thought for the future! Thank you for being such a lovely classmate! It was fun! I think Kaffe described my effort as 'on the edge'...LOL of insanity probably!
