Trish Stuart spoke at our guild on Thursday, 1/12/17. She is funny, with a warm and generous personality. This is her website:

She taught two workshops and I attended both. The first was Freedom in Motion and she supplied a kit for wool applique on linen.
Some in the class made more precise and very pretty renderings. I made mine much more quickly with a carefree approach. I really like it. I know the horizon line is slanted but I will correct that in the squaring up. I need to add the burlap ribbon and some embroidery and it will be finished.
She also supplied linen and we were able to make a second one without a pattern. This is what I played with and I obviously have more work on the stitching and design.
The second day of workshops was her Curves Made Easy and there was a kit for this poppy pattern. It is very striking with many colors and lots of browns and oranges. Excuse the masking tape. The workshop was held at a vacant store in a mall and the window was the only place to hang her quilts.
Because it was a more complex class we learned the technique but didn't get far in the project. Trish supplied a kit with fabrics similar to her original but I came home and my project morphed into an ice blue poppy. I am really enjoying this but I need to pick out a background that goes with the color changes. I am thinking something like a gray barn wood look but I need to go shopping/auditioning.
Not all of the fabric is sewn, some is glued, and some just pinned. This is the kind of project that will need to mellow on the design wall for a while.
