Today was the Tiny Piecing workshop at RD2CA. I brought the wrong fabrics, but Kerry had enough scraps to share from the When Perfect Isn't the Point workshop on Tuesday. I did however have a background that I liked so I went as far as I could on the second block during the workshop. The fabrics include the rest of the background to finish what I started. This was indeed tiny sewing. The first block was 1/4" finished pieces. That center is 1/4" square OMG. Takes time and planning to select the fabrics and stitch. I will be doing more of these. Loved the workshop. Giuseppe Ribaudo was fun and had some great suggestions making these very tiny blocks. I purchased two of his patterns. That Diamond Sidestep looks wild!
Tuesday's workshop with Jemima Flendt was night and day easier to work. The goal was to stitch two rows so students could get the pattern down. It would be quite easy to orientate the blocks the wrong way. I needed more golds and blacks before moving to further rows so I stopped. I had hoped to pick up a couple with the vendors, but not one had Kim Diehl or the feel of Kim except one gold. I've already cut it and more background to finish this project.
The quilts at the show were magnificant as expected. There were lots more exhibits than I remember from past years. The vendors were great as ever; although we did miss a few that had been in previous years. I didn't go crazy, but did purchase a few goodies.
