Connecting Threads are a group of quilters who meet in Elstree in Hertfordshire and last month I had the pleasure of visiting to teach a Fabric Collage workshop. I always enjoy teaching this workshop as the student work is developed from a photo or picture or piece of art that they have bought to class so always moves in multiple directions. These are my fabric collages and a starting point:


I then teach the skills and techniques that can be used to develop the collage and students work individually on their own pieces. I always love seeing how diverse the pieces are. The next few photos show work in progress at different stages through the day.





Thank you everyone for making me feel so welcome and for working so industriously. I can’t wait to see your finished pieces.
Please can anyone help me fine a Patchwork and quilting class for a beginner. Ive been looking for a very long time with know luck. I live in the Harrow area but drive so willing to drive to a class or group.

Hello Frances
Have you tried Fashion and Fabrics shop in St Albans or Stitch and Knit at Brookmans Park, Hatfield? Can anyone suggest anywhere else?
