Liesl workshop a success!

This past weekend was phenomenal...




























































































(Perhaps my favorite photo of the day... " Contortionist Liesl" gets up close and personal with Judy's machine)

We all learned and laughed and finished our projects and hung out with a sewing celebrity: what more could you ask for in a workshop?

I am already scheming and scamming to get Liesl back here again (perhaps this spring?).

Thanks so much to Liesl for flying out here (hope they didn't make you do one of those body-scan things... sheesh!) and thanks so much to everyone who took the class and came to the evening's Q+A... we had a great time!

XO,

Rhea

Updated to add: There is a really great write-up of the day and even more pictures here on Tina's blog, SquirrelAcorns. Thanks, Tina!!!

I had such an amazing time at the workshop!! Thanks for hosting such a fab event, and thanks to Liesl for the wonderful teaching. I'm definitely not as intimidated by knits anymore. Posted my pictures on my blog:
