DAYSCHOOL WITH HELEN WALSH SUNDAY 7TH JULY 2019

We had a really good day with Helen on Sunday.
For a change it was quite dull outside for a lot of the day instead of our usual brilliant sunshine on a dayschool.

Many thanks to Helen for an excellent weekend.

We all seemed to get along well once we had decided which pattern we were going to try.

These two kingfishers are the right side (under the sheer fabric to give the shadow effect)  and the wrong side (quite vibrant).  Anne A.

HELEN WALSH SATURDAY 6th JULY 2019

These photographs are shown with permission from Helen.

We had an extremely interesting talk from Helen on Saturday.  She took us through the beautiful samples of her work that she had brought with her.
The exquisite drawings of feathers in her sketch books were a delight to see and made us wish we could draw them as well as her.

                                                              The kantha style stitching in her work was lovely.

                                           

 Her birds were another thing that has fascinated her for years.

                                                                                  
                                                                                 These beautiful birds when held up to the light were gorgeous.  Lots of machine stitching and also some hand stitching.

All in all a really pleasant afternoon.
