A class with Rosemary Rush

Wow, what an absolutely fantastic weekend we had with the incredibly talented Rosemary Rush. This two day class consisted of a machine applique design of our choice from the selection that Rosemary had on offer. A very relaxed class with everyone working at their pace, with Rosemary giving group talks where appropriate covering applique, needles, threads, stitching and quilting. There was a gentle busy hum through the room as everyone was concentrating on their own piece. 

The shared lunches both days were a hit with two different soups on offer along with hot savoury dishes, cheese and crackers and fruit.





Show and tell at the end of Sunday with everyones work. The same design in different colours is always very interesting, I also love the way we all make designs our own and mix it up.

Rosemary is not only a very talented artist but is also a great tutor sharing her knowledge in a way that reinforces any prior knowledge while filling any gaps that you may have. If you ever have the opportunity to attend one of Rosemary's classes I strongly suggest that you take it, you will be all the richer for it.

Until next time, happy stitching everyone.

Rosemary is a talented tutor and a lovely lady who made everyone feel relaxed and eager to learn from her extensive knowledge. So glad I was able to be there with lovely group of quilters.
