Rachael Porter workshop

A few weekends ago I was lucky enough to attend a Rachael Porter workshop with the Novocastrian Quilters. The workshop was to teach us how to do fussy cutting. The inspiration for us all, the completed block We had a choice of two colour ways, the pink and brown from above and purple and green. Those of you that know me well would know that the purple was always going to be my choice. Rachael explained how she chose her fabrics and how to choose the perfect design and how she cut her fabrics We cut our centre blocks, it looked good at this point But sadly I was nt terribly good at positioning the papers on the fabric and my design did not have the magic the mirrors promised . . . . . Rachael also had some really lovely quilts to show us, each of the pieces perfectly cut. The above quilt was recently included in the quilters companion, each of those stars perfectly fussy cut . . . . . This gorgeous quilt is Racha
