Workshop with Angela Madden



Last weekend we had a workshop with Angela Madden.
http://www.angelamadden.com/
We were working with flowers in different ways.First she learnt a way of doing a pattern of a flower and the tulip I have done is about 85% from a pattern she gave us.The fabrics are handdyed exceot of the fabric for the petals

The second is a fantasy flower made on handdyed fabric with different parts of different "silkflowers".This was so funny to do.The quality we got is for cards or a small decoration,not anything to wash in the washing machine.

Crazy block



I have started doing a crazy quilt block I'm going to do a lot of stitches on and I'm also going to use beads ,lace and ribbons.If you want to see what the participants already have don you can go to

A very good friend of mine has done a very nice article about Maria,only in Swedish,but the painters are wellknown and you can there also see differnt interpretations of Maria.
