matildanme Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Good job posting the photos Susan, well done! There were a few more lovely faces today but somehow my camera missed them, I don't think that my lift was reaching the top floor today. With a little luck I will do better tomorrow. Maybe I'lll try a glass of wine tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudges Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hi everyone! Another fantastic day of classes, Claudia is such a brilliant teacher, so sharing of her knowledge and skills and it just seems to make so much more sense when she explains tihngs And Sue is such a lovely host of course, and such a great lot of ladies in the classes, it is so lovely to arrive at the class and feel so welcomed and at home, and we have so much fun, we have ALOT of laughs let me tell you! Today was Pfun Pfeiling Pfeathers, and the results were amazing, everyone's work was beautiful and everyone that was there today should be very proud of their little sampler! Now I have to wait until Wedesday for my next class, how will I last that long? LOL! Photos to come soon hopefully! Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Wren Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 What a day! We are soooo lucky to have a fantastic teacher like Claudia & a great host like Sue Today was wonderful & we learnt so much. I can hardly wait to go home & load my Lenni with practice fabric. I now know that if I PPP I can do anything. I feel much more comfortable at the front of the machine & know it can only get easier. Looking forward to next Wednesday..... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matildanme Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 My 'puter is having some issues. (I think I'm having one of 'those' weeks.... ) I've been trying to get some photos to Susan and it's not happening....sorry..... will keep trying. Maybe the lovely Jenny will pop some on if she can tear herself away from her Lenni? I wonder if she got any sleep? Have a wonderful day off Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Wren Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Ok...you won't believe this but in all the excitement of yesterday afternoon (& maybe a wine or two) I left my camera at Sue's house so I won't have it till Wednesday:( We ended up leaving for home today so I haven't even unpacked yet & i haven't been in to see Lenni. But... I have had time to admire the work I did over the past few days....& I have come a LONG way:cool: It has been nice to meet new friends & share ideas & I am looking forward to Wednesday for some more Pfun! Satu, I want to see your avatar up ASAP. BTW I hope your tyre is ok..will call you after Wednesday for a chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matildanme Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 evening all, I'm feeling much better and my car has a lovely new tyre Did I mention the the microwave died aswell? It's all happening here folks lol I've managed to send Susan more photos in between ppp I've turned off the stitch regulator and I'm having a ball my only concern is that my stitches are a tad long. Matilda's sewing as fast as she can so I guess I'll have to slow down unless the machine can be adjusted to sew faster? Must talk to Sue some more. How long is the longest acceptable stitch anyhow? talk soon Jen, Enjoy your Lenni cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorothy from Oz Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Finally done it. Registered and logged in and finally found where everything is posted. And yes Jenny you will know who this is. Having an absolutely fantastic, wonderful, amazing time with Claudia didn't know I was capable of doing so much and the mind is still going 100 miles and hour. And no Jenny I haven't started the computer program yet. Its 10.45 and I'm going to try and get some sleep so I will be bright and cheery for another day with Claudia. Can't wait. Cheers. Dorothy.

smudges Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Well another fantastic class with Claudia, today we designed our own wholecloth quilts using her huge collection of stencils. Yes I know, just the thought of a wholecloth sounds SCARY! But it wasn't scary at all, it was heaps of fun and I can't wait to get started quilting mine, have my Vic Textiles order for matching thread here ready to fax off in the morning, hubby is all lined up to pick up my order tomorrow (hope they have it in stock!), so I will be right to quilt all weekend - bliss!! I can't wait to see what they get up to in tomorrows thread painting class, someone will have to send me some photos please as I won't be there (boo hoo sob cry!), it will be a fantastic class I reckon! My brain is soooo tired now, I have been cramming for my uni exam tomorrow (on web design so at least it is something I really enjoy!) ever since I got back from Sue's house, I am not going to retain anything more so time for bed! I will post lots of photos tomorrow afternoon after my exam is over, I'll be done and home before lunch time I hope! Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorris Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hi Dorothy Glad you got home OK, there was an accident on Thompson Road just after you left us and I was relieved to hear it involved a truck, a boat and two small cars so I knew it wasn't you! I went to bed really early last night, my brain was full. I'm looking forward to thread painting today and hope to finish marking the background of my wholecloth. Susan, we'll miss you today - good luck with your exam - I'm sure you will pass with flying colours and will become a fantastic web designer as you are a quilter.

smudges Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 OK now this one is really embarassing, you have to promise not to laugh! This is my feathers before and after shot, the left hand side was done a couple of months ago before I got my Pfun Pfailing Pfeathers DVD, the second was done (by me!) in class with Claudia! Can you believe the difference? I am still amazed, I have it hanging over my machine and every time I walk past I can't help but smile and think "I didn that!".

Marlene AL Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Well hat can l say about Claudia's thread class . I loved it and found something l like even more than just quilting. It was fantastic Thankyou sooo much Claudia. I have all these designs swirling around in my head and cant wait to get home tomorro to have a play on my Millie. I also like using the Millie without the Stitch Regulator which is something that l have not done before., after l got over the initial fear and started breathing it was great and something l will be doing lots of in future. I will have a try at posting some pctures when l get home. And YES l am posting Claudia. I am a lurker and Claudia told me l had to get on here and post. Thankyou Claudia , you are a lovely person and a great teacher. Seeya next Tuesday Marlene Redgate Quilting Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
