This year I will be teaching how to mark and stitch an easy sashiko motif (flower or leaf) and make a sashiko coaster. These workshops are booked on the day at the show - sorry, no advance booking. Best advice is to arrive early and head straight for the booking desk!<br /><br />Please note - if you would like to attend one of these workshops or courses, you need to contact the shop or venue direct, which you can do via the weblinks provided. I can't take your booking myself.<br /><br />Photos and information about most day workshop subjects can be found on the workshop pages at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.susanbriscoe.co.uk">www.susanbriscoe.co.uk</a> Requirements lists will be distributed via the workshop host, on booking.<br /><br />****<br /><br />4th - 5th June 2011 - workshops at Purely Patchwork, Linlithgow. 'Sashiko for Summer' (already fully booked I think) and 'Japanese Circles and Squares' - see the workshop page on my website for more info on fabric requirements for the latter.<br /><br />****<br /><br />Saturday 17th September 2011 - workshop at the Quilt Room, Dorking. Subject to be announced. Watch this space!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6646196866214951739-6288316975159876199?l=susanbriscoediary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Susan Briscoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12478005503421741631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646196866214951739.post-88166180756780623172011-01-10T03:31:00.000-08:002011-01-10T03:43:16.495-08:00I will be attending the following shows as a demonstrator and teaching short sashiko workshops - click the names of the shows for links to the main Grosvenor Shows website, with all the show information -<br /><br />25th - 27th February 2011 - <a href="http://www.grosvenorshows.co.uk/html/Spring_Edinburgh.html">Spring Quilt Festival, Edinburgh</a><br /><br />17th - 19th June 2011 - <a href="http://www.grosvenorshows.co.uk/html/National_Esher.html">National Quilt Championships</a><br /><br />2nd - 4th September 2011 - <a href="http://www.grosvenorshows.co.uk/html/Northern_Harrogate.html">Great Northern Quilt Show</a><br /><br />28th - 30th October 2011 - <a href="http://www.grosvenorshows.co.uk/html/Autumn_Malvern.html">Autumn Quilt Festival, Malvern</a><br /><br />All these shows are three day events - Friday, Saturday, Sunday.<br /><br />I will have my books, kits and patterns for sale, plus a small display of some of my quilts on my demo stand.<br /><br />***<br /><br />Susan Briscoe Designs will be trading at the following Grosvenor quilt shows -<br /><br />Thursday 19th - Sunday 22nd May 2011 - <a href="http://www.grosvenorshows.co.uk/html/Uk_Malvern.html">Quilts UK, Malvern</a> - in the marquee, turn left at bottom of ramp.

November has been very busy and I have been away a lot, without internet connections. Earlier in the year, I was working on books.<br /><br />"Mini Quilt Blocks to Mix and Match" will be out with Search Press in January and "Japanese Quilt Inspirations" with David &amp; Charles in May. "Japanese Taupe Quilt Blocks" is out now, £14.99 in the UK, with free UK p &amp; p until New Year. Order forms can be downloaded from my main website (also in need of some updates!)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6646196866214951739-3042721545538192406?l=susanbriscoediary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Susan Briscoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12478005503421741631noreply@blogger.com0
