Eiffel Tower and Paris with Love Bag

Hilary makes some great Bags and as you can see this

one is themed on Paris. 

A photo transfer onto fabric of The Eiffel Tower she

took while on holiday and a beautifully embroidered one in the opposite too!

I am due to do another session on photo transfer as it is so popular.

Brenda's Photo Quilt

I promised Brenda I would put her wonderful Photo Quilt that she made for her Grand Daughter on my blog so she could share it with friends. She made a Sampler Block Quilt and in between she put a photograph of her Grand Daughter in all different stages of her life. It is truly beautiful and also contains laughter, fun and secrets! She gave it at Christmas and her Grand Daughter is over joyed it stayed downstairs so everyone who visited could see and share. Wonderful!

Princess Cushion

Thursday Patchwork and Quilting Class always has a lot of show and tell. The classes are very popular as students can make their own projects and as you can see Ann has made a start on a floor cushion for her granddaughter making her the feature! Beautiful! This is another successful item combining patchwork and photo transfer.
 The stripped patchwork and quilted runner was made by Ann's Mum, so you can see it is often a three generation class. The cushion has been finished and the Little Princess loves it.

Textile Evening Class

I teach an evening class at Kitwits in Dereham once a month, usually the first Wednesday.
I show inspiration and patterns and students can have a try at these or do their own project. Mandy wanted to use the photo transfer of her new kitten on a quillo and this is nearing completion. I do regular photo transfer sessions so people can personalise their work and gifts.
I love seeing all the different projects come to life and the evening is really fun.

Memories Birthday Book

Last month Andrea was inspired by my fabric journal

and wanted to make a Birthday Book of memories

for her daughters birthday.

She collected together photos,clothes and items

from different ages and time.

The photos we transferred them onto fabric and

Andrea had fun stitching the photos and items on the

pages.

It was lovely to here the stories at 'Show and Tell'.

Now finished the pages have pockets with little

bags of first teeth, badges and keepsakes too!

A really special gift.

I can see Andrea making more fabric books.

Memory Cushion

Nikki has finished her Memory Cushion of her Mum

as a gift for her Dad.

Using photo transfer she has incorporated the

photos with patchwork.

It looks great and such a special gift.

It has been a way of sharing to with the group.

Photo Keepsakes

On Monday 20th of February I got into my studio

and finished making the Photo Transfer Lace Keepsakes

that I wanted to make the girls of Coven Quilters.

The idea being I would

present them at our Yearly Dinner.

Paddy took our yearly photo on Kate's sofa in January and

I knew I wanted to make something from it to remember

as I have been teaching photo transfer for the last month.

The lace background is all bits of lace, curtains, silks,

satins, ribbon and wool free machined down around the

photo and then made into a cushion filled with lavender

and stuffing.

I was really pleased and signed them all on the back.

The idea being all the girls could sign each one as

it went round the table while we were waiting for our meal.

Making a very special Keepsake.

It was lovely all week knowing we would be meeting for lunch.

We normally meet in the evening!

I'll post photos later.

Photo Transfer at Knit Wits

As you probably know I have been taking my

printer and prepared fabric to all of my classes

so students can transfer their photos onto to fabric for

projects and keepsakes.

All of the photos have had wonderful stories behind

them and have taken many down memory lane.

They will make another leap into life with the

items that they are being made into.

It's been like magic! seeing the images

emerge onto the fabric for all of us.

Transfer Your Favourite Photograph

Here, are another Mother and Daughter enjoying

creating their textiles together.

Both transferred their pet photographs onto fabric and

developed them into cushions.

I just love Maria's sheep dog cushion.

As they left Maria brought in her

10 month old puppy into the doorway,

he was so soft and cuddly!

and wooed the class.

This month has been lovely so far seeing all the

photographs being transferred onto fabric

and projects full of memories are being

created.

Transfer Photographs and Print Onto Fabric

This month I have taken the printer and prepared

fabric into classes so students could experiment with

photo transfer on an ordinary printer.I explained how they

could have a go at home if they wanted.

There has been so many wonderful photos and

pictures come in for transfer with stories and

memories attached.

I love the sharing of creating!

These fabric images are now being made into

wall hangings, cushions, albums and keepsakes.

Just lovely!

Gallery Tuesday 7th February 2012

I have been taking the printer and prepared fabric
