Whilst our guests from White Gecko set up their fabric stall members started arriving and began organising their workstations ready to start the Spiral Bargello Table Runner Workshop.
The workshop started with Sarah explaining how members should prepare their fabric and how to prevent their seams curving into a banana shape. With the strips joined together Sarah demonstrated how to use the template provided to complete the next stage. When everyone had cut their strips she showed the offset layout required to make two identical blocks, which joined together would form the Spiral Bargello Table Runner top that needed to be sandwiched, quilted and the binding added. As the afternoon drew to a close, it was interesting to see what stage everyone had reached so that the table runner could be completed at home. The ladies from white Gecko were thanked for a very interesting and enjoyable workshop and it was hoped they could return for another workshop at a later date.
