I am back home again after a truly hectic weekend in Milton Keynes. I was attending the weekend for the Quilt Judging Course run by the Quilters Guild of the British Isles. 23 or so students attended and we had a busy but very worthwhile weekend.We did jurying and judging sessions and got to meet each other. This course runs for 2 years and there is a LOT of work ahead. However, it should be fun and very worthwhile.
I have been thinking about my printmaking course whilst I was away. Lesson 4 posted today and I haven't even started Lesson 3! You can see the press my DH Norman made me for the course. When I said to him we had the wrong kind of pasta machine, ours is electric and makes all sorts of shapes etc (seldom out of the cupboard I have to say) not the roller kind mentioned in the class notes he said he would make me one. I used it last week and it is wonderful to use.
He bought the gears for it but everything else he machined himself. It's adjustable too so I can use different thickness of plates.
I am going to miss out on the Fast Friday Fabric challenge this month as I only have until Saturday to produce something and I don't have time this time around. The kids were around last night for Halloween - what fun!
Well I had better go get things organised for class tomorrow. I am not sure when I will get back in my studio - perhaps Friday!
