I like learning new things! I took a felt hat making workshop this past week with Dawn Edwards. She makes great sculptural felt hats and was a very good teacher. I've never done any felting before except for the wonderful but short introduction my friend Kathy gave me, so it was really an informative class. I made one and a half hats during the two day class and really learned a lot. I hope to be able to write some more in depth posts about it in future, but here are a few pics.
I like finishes! Elsewhere on the blog this week I talked about my finished neon crochet shawl and my latest finished smocked quilt. So check those out if you haven't seen them!
I hope you're all having a good week, and thanks to LeeAnna for keeping us positive.
Cool hat and shawl! That sailing looks so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon! How sweet of Anna - you two must have a very special bond. That fabric for the smocked quilt looks SOOOOOO gorgeous. And sailing . . . those pictures makes me relax just looking at them.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday! ~smile~ Roseanne
I loved that note from Anna - so sweet. That looks like a fun hat! (And fun to take the class and learn something new!) Sailing looks wonderful - you must live near a big lake - and a "cool" way to beat the heat, too.
ReplyDeleteSailing. How lovely. That hat is something else. I showed my mother the smocked quilts - she loved them!
ReplyDeletegreat sailboat photo and the one of you too! Love the hat you made.
ReplyDeleteOh, you look adorable in your hand made felted hat. I imagine it would be very warm...could use one here about next January. Meanwhile, sailing what a wonderful outing. I love boats and being on the water.
