Strings workshop with Carolyn Forster

One of Carolyn's versions of this design

Carolyn


 This was a really good day. Carolyn showed showed us several patterns which worked well with strings and several techniques for making them, not just " one true way". However what I liked best was the huge number of examples she had brought with her, complete and incomplete, vintage and her own work. This was to alert us to the design and fabric possibilities and to analyse the piece's impact. I'm not sure if I shall leave my efforts as samples or go on to make some smallish quilts. Sewing strips is very addictive!
