A Stitchers Life

Janine's gorgeous new quilt is in keeping with her quirky style of machine drawn people going about their daily lives. These lovely ladies are shopping for fabric and making lots of beautiful quilts, sound familiar? Of course, there are also pets involved too and a chance to have some fun personalising the characters! Janine will show you how, and help you, to draw, design and use the images to make a stitched picture quilt or you may want to make panels and use them to make place mats, pictures, cushions etc... Her printing, drawing and sewing style is very relaxed, easy and free and very quickly you will be able to achieve a lot.
