Workshop at Nadelwelt 2015, Karlsruhe, Germany, May 15th
 |
My second workshop outside Denmark. We got along in
English and the 20 participants (over two days) did very well. Nadelwelt supplied an
interpreter on stand-by in case of language difficulties. Someone even had a little
exhibition of her work!

Workshop for the Sea & Fjord Quilters, Hals, March 2014
 |
The sun shone from a clear sky and the windows looked out
on to the fjord. The participants were nevertheless able to concentrate and
here are the impressive results of 6½ hours of intensive work.

Workshop in Lystrup, February 2014
 |
This was the first time I arranged a workshop myself on
home ground. The 12 eager participants came from near and far and the 100
kr. each paid for the 5 hours were donated to help for Syrian refugees.

Workshop for KaløQuilterne, Rønde, October 2013

It happened again. A
flock of eager quilters began to sew princesses, and once more the results
were amazing! All fifteen were proud when they went away after 5 hours of
intense work.

Workshop for Rosquilterne, Svogerslev, September 2013
 |
Princesses make princesses!
Some wore crowns, others didn't, but neither does the Crown Princess on an ordinary day...
They worked intensly for many hours and gradually these wonderful 'quilts' took form.

Workshop for Symus, Skælskør, September 2013
 |
The last weekend of September was warm and sunny.
Even so, these women chose to stay indoors and produce princesses.
And fine they were, after five hours hard work!

Workshop for Kreastedet, Frederikshavn, April 2013
 |
 |
On the first spring-like day of the year, in the middle of
April, these fascinating women were produced by these lovely ladies.
Knivholt Manor Farm was an exciting place to be, both outside and inside.

Two workshops for Nordsjællandsk Quiltelaug, October 2010
First day. The usual concentration - no time wasted.
Outside the sun shone on the town of Birkerød and the trees glowed in autumn
colours, perhaps inspiring the choice of hair?

Second day, new class, same concentration as the day
before. Overcast outside, but definitely not inside, where everyone enjoyed
being allowed to use their fantasy.

A delightfully warm and sunny late-summer day in Gentofte,
ten good humoured quilters, and look what they achieved in five hours . . .
. . but it was hard work!

Workshop for Gentofte Quilters, March 2010
A very productive Sunday. Winter-cold outside, cosy inside,
great concentration and a riot of colours. Grand pictures after only
five hours work!
