500 and still going!

I had another enjoyable day teaching at ArtVanGo this week. As ever, a delightful group of ladies including one complete beginner were taking my Razzle Dazzle - Shimmering Sheers Class

They started the morning by making sparkly organza bags and then in the afternoon made flowers from layers of sheer fabrics. It was only when I was taking photographs that we realised they looked lovely together.

They were very quick at packing up and putting their efforts away but these were three I snapped before they got hidden.

Including this one below from the lady who had never done machine embroidery before... she has only had her machine for a couple of months! Didn't they do well! The next class at ArtVanGo is on Thursday 28th October... Razzle Dazzle - Constructed Fabrics. Still some places available if you would like to join us.


There was something else I was going to mention today... ah yes.. 500 blog posts over here on Fan My Flame and so the third and final part of my giveaway. I bet most of you had forogotten that you even left a comment on this post. Extra names were added to those already in the bowl.

And a third winner was picked out... Pebbledash, who I think said she would like a pin cushion. Well done Diana, if you drop me an email with your address I'll get that off to you next week.

I must dash now... it's our village show today so I'm off to see if I'm a winner!

  4. Congratulations on 500. Your class looks such fun, I wish I was just that bit closer so I could come to one, although I suppose with a very early start.....

  6. Congrats to Pebbledash and to that lady in your ArtVanGo class who is a beginner. Her work is lovely and if you had not told us we would never have known she is so new to machine embroidery. The little bags and flowers are gorgeous.
