Look What I Can Do!

Yesterday I went to The Thimblelady, Liuxin Newman's applique class.

There were 6 of us in the class and we were all skeptical when she told us that by the end of the day we would be able to needleturn a tiny circle!

Guess what - here is my tiny circle needleturned - its 7mm wide! Liuxin told us we could go even smaller but not much more. I was so excited (we all were) that we did what we had considered at the start impossible. I certainly will be putting my new skills into action. Have to design a small wall hanging to showcase what I can do.

We learnt to make tiny lines only 1/8 inch wide, circles, arcs and points both convex and concave.

If you get the chance to go to one of her classes don't hesitate it was a great day - lots of learning and lots of laughs.
