Even More Samples

Having received the final week of learning new techniques I feel very well equipped for the brief.
This week we learnt how to crazy patchwork, which I really enjoyed, although struggled with some of the more extravagant hand stitching. Although we were a bit restricted with materials I still quite like this sample. 

I was also inducted onto the saddle stitch machine which has a very limited function, but does imitate hand stitching excellently, meaning that you can still get a nice "hand stitched" effect that is far less time consuming.  

Finally I was also inducted onto the Pfaff machine, which has enabled me to experiment with over 80 different, very complex and intricate stitch types. I think that this machine is absolutely amazing and hope to use it again soon!

Also over Easter were told to turn our hand to either hexagon patchwork or log cabin patchwork and I was quite proud to present this sample.
