Before getting to Eliotts this week, I called in to see Jan K and was rewarded with a viewing of her students’ work, which I’ve been given permission to share with you. Prepare to be stunned!
There’s an elephant who’s soon to be floating in a balloon
a sweet little birdie in the making
another getting some embroidered plumage
a finished one among the leaves
and this aMaZing piece
isn’t this stunning? He’s so tactile
and did you see the praying mantis?
and the baby hedgehog?
I was blown away by the talent of these ladies!
Meanwhile, at Eliotts………
Miss H has made this lovely quilt for a friend’s birthday
GJ is cutting out for a very cool Steampunk
and she’s been busy embroidering for the Quiltmania Mystery Quilt (contact Sewn and Quilted for the kit)
Carolyn was able to join us and she’s been busy making blocks
and I worked on my 2nd Aunts’ block
And I just know you want to see what we had for lunch!
Chicken soup, garlic bread, new soup mugs, cute Easter serviettes and, being just before Easter, a chocolate bunny for dessert!

Wow – Jan K’s students work is stunning – all kudos to Jan – she’s such a brilliant teacher! And I LOVE your fabrics for your auntie’s quilt – soft and gorgeous – I may have to come take some tips from you on how to do “soft and gorgeous” – because I’m always “bright and …..”
Who are those amazing embroiderers? I am actually scared of birds but those ones are stunning.I am in awe of their work.

Truly some of the most awesome embroidery work I’ve ever seen. Then you Elliot Girls aren’t too shabby yourselves. And, of course, lunch always looks deliciously yummy.
Fab embroidery, always intrigued by the food,
Really enjoyed seeing those amazing embroideries! What a great teacher. Looks like you had a nice lunch complete with chocolate bunnies! Wishing you a happy Easter.
That embroidery is out of this world!! I am amazed and trilled to see your pictures!
The embroidery is stunning – I ooohed and aaaahed as I scrolled through the photos!! The little hedgehog is very cute. Excellent sewing from the Eliott girls – I watched the first three episodes when I was sewing on Tuesday and thoroughly enjoyed them – I had forgotten all the ins and outs of the plot, really just remembering the clothes from when I watched it way back on tv.
Drooling over the food, it’s a diet day!!
That’s a very delicate and gorgeous embroidery !! Thank you for sharing M !
I love your regular updates. And that yellow bird is delicious!
It looks like another wonderful day Ms. M! And YAY for Aunts’ progress!!!

Simply “gobsmacking”!!!!

What a treat to see all those amazing embroidery projects! I love the fabrics you’ve used for your Aunts block. The Easter themed lunch looks extra sweet.
